- Sciences: An Integrated Approach, responds to the future needs of today's students. The integrated course encompasses physics, chemistry, astronomy, Earth sciences, and biology, and emphasizes general principles and their application to real-world situations. The Sixth Edition has been updated to provide the most current scientific coverage. Some of the changes are: 1. Chapter 3 Energy includes an expanded discussion of renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar energy, and the impact they are likely to have on the world's energy future. 2. Chapter 10 Atoms in Combination features many new and revised illustrations related to chemical bonding. Every atomic-scale illustration is now accompanied by a photograph of a related material to emphasize the connections between the atomic structure and physical properties. 3. Chapter 19 Ecology, Ecosystems, and the Environment has been updated with the most recent global warming data. Sections on acid rain and the ozone layer have been switched to reflect local-to-global scale problems. 4. Chapter 24 The New Science of Life reflects this rapidly evolving area of science with new coverage of genetic engineering, DNA fingerprinting, cloning, stem cells, and cancer. An additional section on bioterrorism has also been included.
