An Introduction to Biological Evolution

by McGraw-Hill Education (contributor)

This new evolution textbook is directed toward the non-science major. It is important to note that it is not intended for the upper-division evolution course. The author's goal in writing "Evolution-Darwin Today" is to engage the student by weaving high-interest elements right into the body of the text as opposed to placing them in pedagogical features such as boxed readings. This encourages the reading of assigned material and increases the comprehension level. Initial interest in this title has been high as there doesn't appear to be such a textbook available on the market now.

About the author

McGraw-Hill Education traces its history back to 1888 when James H. McGraw, co-founder of the company, purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. His co-founder, John A. Hill, had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.

In 1909 both men agreed upon an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into The McGraw-Hill Book Company. John Hill served as President, with James McGraw as Vice-President. 1917 saw the merger of the remaining parts of each business into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc.
