Biology (Mader), 10th EditionAbout the AuthorDr. Sylvia S. Mader has authored several nationally recognized
biology texts published by McGraw-Hill. Educated
at Bryn Mawr College, Harvard University, Tufts
University, and Nova Southeastern University, she holds
degrees in both Biology and Education. Over the years,
she has taught at the University of Massachusetts–Lowell,
Massachusetts Bay Community College, Suffolk University,
and Nathan Matthew Seminars. Her ability to reach
out to science-shy students led to the writing of her first
text, Inquiry into Life, which is now in its twelfth edition.
Highly acclaimed for her crisp and entertaining writing
style, her books have become models for others who
write in the field of biology.
Although her writing schedule is always quite demanding,
Dr. Mader enjoys taking time to visit and explore
the various ecosystems of the biosphere. Her several trips
to the Florida Everglades and Caribbean coral reefs resulted
in talks she has
given to various groups
around the country. She
has visited the tundra
in Alaska, the taiga in
the Canadian Rockies,
the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, and tropical rain forests
in South America and Australia. A photo safari to the
Serengeti in Kenya resulted in a number of photographs
for her texts. She was thrilled to think of walking in Darwin’s
steps when she journeyed to the Galápagos Islands
with a group of biology educators. Dr. Mader was also a
member of a group of biology educators who traveled to
China to meet with their Chinese counterparts and exchange
ideas about the teaching of modern-day biology.
