The Sciences: An Integrated Approach, Eighth Edition by James Trefil and Robert Hazen uses an approach that recognises that science forms a seamless web of knowledge about the universe. This text fully integrates physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth sciences, and biology and emphasizes general principles and their application to real-world situations.

The goal of the textbook is to help students achieve scientific literacy. Applauded by students and instructors for its easy-to-read style and detail appropriate for non-science majors, the eighth edition of The Sciences: An Integrated Approach has been updated to bring the most up-to-date coverage to the students in all areas of science.

Features

  • Each chapter begins with a statement of a great unifying idea or theme in science and has a radiating diagram that shows how the great idea has been applied to different branches of science and to everyday life.

  • New and updated End of Chapter Questions written to stimulate discussion, integrated thinking, and check students’ understanding of the materials.
