  • "The Science of Agriculture: A Biological Approach is intended as a text that explains the scientific principles behind the production of food and fiber. All of modern agriculture is built on these principles, and it is through scientific inquiry that progress is made. The Science of Agriculture: A Biological Approach approaches the material from the why rather than the how aspect. It is written so that by completing an agriscience course based on the text, students will be able to receive science credit for the course. - Preface."
  • "The Science of Agriculture: A Biological Approach, 4th Edition integrates biological sciences with modern agricultural concepts. The aim of the text is to provide you with a basic understanding of the concepts behind the agricultural industry. Traditionally, agriculture texts have concentrated on the "how" behind the industry. Instead this new edition concentrates more on the "why" behind the industry. Easy-to-follow and superbly illustrated, this text will develop your comprehension of Agriscience, as thorough coverage is given to plant and animal systems, soils, cell functions, genetics, genetic engineering, plant and animal reproduction, entomology, the uses of biotechnology, environmental concerns as well as new direction in agriculture and careers. The text also includes an examination of the controversy and concerns over the use of genetic engineering, genetically modified organisms, cloning, and their perceived and potential dangers to humans and the environment. Throughout the text an emphasis is placed on critical thinking, and practical activities to reinforce key information are featured at the end of each chapter. Each chapter begins with clearly-stated learning objectives, followed by key terminology. Chapters close with student learning activities intended to extend learning beyond the text material. End-of-Chapter test questions, in True/False; Short Answer/Discussion; and Multiple Choice formats help to evaluate your understanding of the concepts presented in the text. The Science of Agriculture: A Biological Approach, 4th Edition is supported by a robust suite of resources. - Publisher."
