What's New in this Edition

These two books have been designed to work together as the Exercises contain references to additional figures found in the Atlas. They can also be adopted separately to provide affordable, effective lab resources. The Atlas serves as an excellent visual reference for use in the lab and can also be used for self-study.  The Exercises provide a concise, inexpensive alternative to the larger, more expensive laboratory manuals on the market.

About the Author

Joel A. Kazmierski

Joel Kazmierski is a 1961 graduate of the State College at Fitchburg in Massachusetts.  After graduating and realizing that his B.S.Ed. degree did not provide adequate subject matter information, he became a graduate student at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. There he was exposed to marvelous professors who were extremely interested in teaching. After obtaining his master’s degree, he taught high school biology for two years. He obtained additional graduate education at Washington State University. He then received a fellowship at Idaho State University and earned a Doctor of Arts degree. This was followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at Cornell University, a short teaching position at a private college in New Hampshire, and then a move to Delhi, where he taught courses in biology for more than 25 years.

Joel continues to live in Delhi with his wife, Ruth, and enjoys traveling, woodworking, and spending time with his grandchildren.
