Embryology, Genetics and Ecology

Michael Holdrege brings a fresh and insightful spark to teaching life science to adolescents. At a time when young people struggle to find meaning and significance in much of contemporary schooling, Holdrege describes in this book a pathway to engendering interest in the amazing wisdom of the human body. Starting with the inevitable preoccupation teenagers have with their own body’s changes and growth, he leads them gradually to a deeper understanding of the dynamic and interwoven processes that make up and sustain the human organism. Proceeding in this way, a kind of thinking is being schooled that is capable of dealing with the complex and multi-dimensional world that the students are growing up into.
This book will prove valuable not only to middle and high school science teachers, as it contains useful teaching tips relevant to other subjects as well. Parents may also find that this book will help them understand how science can be taught in a way that fits and nurtures the kinds of thinking that are gradually emerging in young people as they move through the different phases of their development.
