Applauded by students and instructors for its easy-to-read style and detail appropriate for non-science majors, the fifth edition has thoroughly updated content bringing the most up-to-date coverage to the students in all five disciplines. The fifth edition marks the first time Wiley Plus is available with The Sciences - providing the text with an additional dimension in which students can, among other things, do homework and solve problems that relate to the science disciplines covered.
