For the Instructor:
Digital Content Manager CD-ROM
This multimedia collection of visual resources allows instructors to utilize
artwork from the text in multiple formats to create customized classroom presentations,
visually based tests and quizzes, dynamic course website content, or attractive
printed support material. The digital assets on this cross-platform CD-ROM
include:
Art Library Color (enhanced)
Ddigital files of all illustrations in the book, plus
the same art saved in unlabeled and gray scale versions, can be readily incorporated
into lecture presentations, exams, or custom-made classroom materials. Upsized
labels make the images appropriate for use in large lecture halls.
TextEdit Art Library
Every line art piece is placed into a PowerPoint presentation that allows the user to revise, move, or delete labels as desired for creation of customized presentations or for testing purposes.
Active Art Library Active Art Demo (792.0K)
Active Art consists of art files that have been converted to a format that allows the artwork to be edited inside of PowerPoint. Each piece can be broken down to its core elements, grouped or ungrouped, and edited to create customized illustrations.
Animations Library
Full color presentations involving key process figures in the book have been brought to life via animation. These animations offer flexibility for instructors and were designed to be used in lecture. Instructors can pause, rewind, fast forward, and turn audio off/on to create dynamic lecture presentations.
PowerPoint Lecture Outlines
These ready-made presentations combine art and lecture notes for each of the 57 chapters of the book. The presentations can be used as they are, or can be customized to reflect your preferred lecture topics and organization.
PowerPoint Outlines
The art, photos, and tables for each chapter are inserted into blank PowerPoint presentations to which you can add your own notes.
Photo Library
Like the Art Library, digital files of all photographs from the book are available.
Table Library
Every table that appears in the book is provided in electronic form.
Video Library
Contains digitized video clips that can be inserted into a PowerPoint lecture.
Additional Photo Library
Over 700 photos, not found in Biology, are available for use in creating lecture presentations.
Instructor's Testing and Resource CD-ROM
The cross-platform CD-ROM contains the Instructor's Manual and Test Item File,
both available in both Word and PDF formats. The manual contains chapter synopses,
objectives, key terms, outlines, instructional strategies and sources for additional
visual resources. The Test Bank offers questions that can be used for homework
assignments or the preparation of exams. The computerized test bank utilizes
Brownstone Diploma testing software, which allows the user to quickly create
customized exams. This user-friendly program allows instructors to search questions
by topic, format, or difficulty level; edit existing questions or add new ones;
and scramble questions and answer keys for multiple versions of the same test.

A set of 1300 transparency overheads includes every piece of line art and table
in the text. The images are printed with better visibility and contrast than
