Fundamentals Of Biostatistics
by Bernard Rosner
Bernard Rosner's FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOSTATISTICS is a practical introduction to the methods, techniques, and computation of statistics with human subjects. It prepares students for their future courses and careers by introducing the statistical methods most often used in medical literature. Rosner minimizes the amount of mathematical formulation (algebra-based) while still giving complete explanations of all the important concepts. As in previous editions, a major strength of this book is that every new concept is developed systematically through completely worked out examples from current medical research problems.
Photo Atlas for Biology
by David Morton
This full-color Photo Atlas guides you through the complex subject matter facing you in your lab course, whether it be biology, botany, or zoology. Unlike black and white atlases, Perry and Morton's comprehensive Photo Atlas presents more than 600 photographs in full color, so you get a true, clear picture of the material you're working on. This invaluable aid not only helps you grasp the material more quickly in a lab setting, but also enables you to recall later what you've seen in the lab. By covering up the labels associated with the photos, you can effectively use the Atlas to study and review for exams.
