Integrated Science is a straightforward and easy-to-read but substantial introduction to the fundamental behavior of matter and energy in living and nonliving systems. It meets the needs of non-science majors who must complete one or more science courses as part of a general or basic studies requirement.Integrated Science provides an introduction to a scientific way of thinking as it introduces fundamental scientific concepts, often in a historical context. Several features of the text provide opportunities for students to experience the methods of science by evaluating situations from a scientific point of view. Although technical language and mathematics are important in developing an understanding of science, only the language and mathematics needed to develop central concepts are used. No prior work in science is assumed.Many features, such as Science and Society readings, as well as basic discussions of the different branches of science help students understand how they relate. These connections allow students to develop an appreciation of the major developments in science and an ability to act as informed citizens on matters that involve science and public policy.The Integrated Science sequence of chapters is flexible, and the instructor can determine topic sequence and depth of coverage, as needed. The materials support a conceptual approach or a combined conceptual and problem-solving approach. The Integrated Science Online Learning Center's Instructor's Resources offer suggestions for integrating the text's topics around theme options. With laboratory studies, the text contains enough material for the instructor to select a sequence for a one- or two-semester course.The goals of Integrated Science are as follows:•Create an introductory science course aimed at the non-science major.•Introduce a course that presents a coherent and clear picture of all science disciplines through an interdisciplinary approach.•Help instructors build their own mix of descriptive and analytical aspects of science, arousing student interest and feelings as they help students reach the educational goals of their particular course.•Humanize science for non-science majors.New to This Edition•The text features several new worked Examples and end-of-chapter Parallel Exercises.•The new Science Sketch feature engages students in creating their own explanations and analogies by challenging them to create visual representations of concepts.•The new Self Checks feature allows students to check their understanding of concepts as they progress through the chapter.•The illustrations within the biological content have been revised to reduce their complexity.•Chapter 13 includes many new images and updated information from the latest space missions. •Chapter 16 contains additional information on distances in space.•Chapter 17 includes the most recent information on climate change, causes of global climate change, and global warming.The Connect digital learning platform includes SmartBook, an adaptive digital version of the course textbook, that personalizes your reading experience based on how well you are learning the content; provides access to your instructor's homework assignments, quizzes, syllabus, notes, reminders, and other important files for the course; and offers progress dashboards that quickly show how you are performing on your assignments and tips for improvement

When a team of researchers from Canada's Arctic Institute travel to York Factory to disinter a grave, they unwittingly stumble upon more than they bargained for buried in the permafrost. Their research is focused on the old Hudson Bay Company fort cemetery, where they are attempting to find a definitive cause of the famed "York Factory Complaint" of 1833 - 1836. But alongside the now-opened grave of Joseph Charles, a "company man" who had succumbed to the "complaint" in 1836, they find a Hudson's Bay point blanket, an artifact of particular significance to the archeologist of the team, Rachel Thompson, and an indication that Chipewyan people were likely buried there as well. Upon their return from York Factory, Thompson, another member of her team, and the bush pilot who ferried them to their research site, fall gravely ill. When infectious disease interns have the good fortune to be on hand in the remote north as part of a study, they examine the ailing pilot and are horrified to confirm that he suffers from smallpox, a disease thought eradicated worldwide in 1977. A simultaneous smallpox outbreak occurs in Russia, and suddenly the world must ask the question: how could a disease surviving only within the vault-like security of the world's two level four containment labs have been unleashed to ravage millions? Could the melting permafrost be releasing this deadly contagion?Deadly Thaw is a richly imagined story that could be ripped from news headlines emerging from a planet struggling with the impacts of global climate change. Meticulously researched, steeped in history, and offering a touching lament for the fate of many First Nations people killed by smallpox infections carried from the "old world," the story will have readers racing to reach its end and sleepless at imagining potential terrors that might await them....

Integrated Science, Seventh Edition, is a straightforward, easy-to-read, yet substantial introduction to the fundamental behavior of matter and energy in living and nonliving systems. The authors provide even, well-integrated coverage of physics, chemistry, earth science, astronomy, and biology. The text’s pedagogy (chapter outlines, core concept maps, and overviews) reveals how the science disciplines are interrelated and integrated throughout the text.This edition continues to introduce basic concepts and key ideas while providing opportunities for students to learn reasoning skills and a new way of thinking about their environment. The book is intended to serve the needs of non-science majors who are required to complete one or more science courses as part of a general or basic studies requirement. No prior work in science is assumed. The language, as well as the mathematics, is as simple as can be practical for a college-level science course.
