Life Science

by McGraw-Hill Education

Glencoe's Life Science offers more than facts and figures. The program places your students at the center of scientific exploration, with all the wonder and excitement of discovery. The student-friendly text and a variety of Reading Strategies help students build their understanding and critical-thinking skills. Only from Glencoe! Foldables are unique, hands-on tools that help students create and interactive strategy for organizing what they read. As they work through each chapter, your students add more detail to their Foldables until they've created a comprehensive "snap-shot" of important chapter concepts. A Study Guide at the end of each chapter reviews key concepts and vocabulary and suggests ways students can use their Foldables to study.

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.
