The chapters are appropriately detailed, and include activities to encourage students to think critically and probe the links between science and agriculture. Thorough coverage is given to environmental concerns, food spoilage and safety, as well as life processes of plants and animals, and how these concepts are used in agriculture to produce food and fiber more efficiently. Effective full color photos and illustrations designed to facilitate concept comprehension are infused throughout the book. New directions in agriculture are discussed, along with agricultural career choices for students in the 21st century. Ancillary materials for "The Science of Agriculture: A Biological Approach, 2nd Edition" include an instructor's guide, laboratory manual, and a teacher's resource guide and test bank CD-ROM.
