"The book is well illustrated [...] is in language that is not confusing to non-science majors. References are made to everyday experiences that “connect” the students to their experiences outside science but have relevance to their lives."

— Ezequiel R. Rivera Professor, Biological Sciences, University of Massachusetts Lowell
The accessibility features "are important for students who often find reason or fault with online books and use that as an excuse for their inability to study the material."

— Umass Lowell Professor
"The book made complex concepts very easy to understand."

— Student
"The book was beyond helpful! Loved it and it definitely helps with other science courses. The slides were very useful, especially for studying after/before class."

— Student
"It's well organized and I like that you can click on bold words for instant definitions, it's very convenient. Nice work!"

— Student
"I'm not good at science to begin with but the text had a format that made recalling information and memorizing... easy. Having the slides in there was massively helpful. It was an excellent resource"

— Student
"It was a easily read (not too many technical terms, or way over my head) and I even found myself laughing at the humor and wit throughout the otherwise dry material covered in the chapters."

— Student
"Dr. Shea has included a glossary of biological terms with their definitions at the end of each chapter section. [...] It is useful to students because they do not see the definitions until they click on the biological term in the glossary."

— Johanna Choo, Lecturer, Biological Sciences, University of Massachusetts Lowell

Author Q & A

An introduction to physiology for majors in fields other than health science

Crafted from the authors’ 20 plus years experience teaching biology to students of all majors and all levels, Life on this Rock: Form and Function of Living Things is written for students majoring in fields other than health sciences. Rather than follow the typical sequence of simple to complex organisms (i.e., bacteria, plants, animals and finally, humans), Life on this Rock: Form and Function presents comparative physiology with emphasis on humans. The differences among animals are presented in a manner that further helps understand human physiology.

The Life on this Rock series succeeds by taking students, in a narrative documentary style, through a step-by-step journey of discovery that accelerates learning and enables any student to fully grasp even complex biological topics. Students receive a solid foundation in science that they can draw from throughout their academic and professional careers, and a desirable base of understanding to advance from for those enticed to switch to a life sciences track.

Use Life on this Rock: Form and Function as a standalone one-semester course or pair it with Life on this Rock: Biology for a complete two-semester program.

Benefits to using Life on this Rock for your class:

Better engage your students: capture and maintain student interest with this text by showing them that science is relevant to their careers and their lives.
Full understanding: allows students, regardless of their prior exposure to science, to gain a critical understanding of complex topics within biology without requiring the memorization of obscure jargon.
Easy to teach: the book is written in a way that you can lecture straight from the text. All the needed lecture PowerPoints, student exercises and assessments are included with the very convenient built-in LMS included right within the book.
Easy to customize: you can change the learning sequence and add your own content at any time within the book. You may even mix and match chapters from from other books to create a combination textbook for your students.
Highly satisfied students: your students will love the the ease and convenience of the Trubook platform, plus they will come away with a deep understanding and appreciation that the the “Scientific Method” is not just an academic exercise confined to a laboratory, but rather a universal approach that can be applied to various aspects of life.

Pedagogical Approach and Teaching Methods

Overall approach:

The text is written in a narrative style, reminiscent of a documentary, which improves readability and comprehension for students majoring in other fields. Jargon and unnecessarily complex terminology is kept to a minimum so that students can focus on understanding the core concepts. The narrative style of the the text also gives instructors new to teaching the course a ready-made “script” for class lectures.

The text begins with a brief review of how molecules make cells, how cells make tissues, and how tissues make organs, which is essential for students not familiar with these basics. However, rather than follow the typical sequence of simple to complex organisms (i.e., bacteria, plants, animals and finally, humans), Life on this Rock – Form and Function of Living Things presents comparative physiology with emphasis on humans. The differences among animals are presented in a manner that further helps understand human physiology.

Complex physiological processes are presented in manner accessible to students of all majors and all levels.
Organ systems are presented in the most interesting order possible (e.g., nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems before muscular, skeletal and digestive systems). Particular attention is devoted to reproduction and embryonic development.

Interaction among organ systems is highlighted.

Each chapter concludes with a section entitled “What goes wrong,” that includes the problems with organ systems that students will hear about, or will face in their own lifetime.

Corresponds to the following General Education Courses:

Life Science II
General Biology II
Anatomy and Physiology
Physiology

This text is excellent for a stand-alone course, but also makes the ideal next-semester companion to Life on this Rock – Biology.

A brief synopsis on teaching method and using built-in resources:

Powerpoint slide shows, modifiable by the Instructor, are provided in pdf form for students (and can act as "study guides"). The book’s show/hide feature can restrict this as desired by Instructors. These files follow the text file, and include all illustrations. They therefore not only provide a summary of each chapter, but allow students to pay more attention, since they are not forced to take copious notes. Rather, students can annotate as necessary. The use of “bullet points,” rather than complete sentences, avoids direct reading by the Instructor, and therefore keeps each class meeting vibrant and fresh. Since the lecture slides are available beforehand, students have a prior draft of the upcoming lecture. Students are encouraged to read the chapter beforehand, and study more intensely after the class meeting. Whenever possible, a relevant newsworthy item (or link to it) is uploaded before a class meeting. This approach has routinely prompted discussion. Self-assessment questions, with accessible answers, included in each chapter help the reader focus on key points.

A special high school edition:
Life on this Rock: Biology

Life on this Rock: Biology was originally developed by Professor Thomas B. Shea to meet a specific need – to allow college students, regardless of their prior exposure to science, to gain a critical understanding of aspects of Biology that affect their lives now and will continue to do so in the future. Professor Shea recognizes that he may be the last scientist such students will ever hear from, and strives to leave them well-versed in the Scientific Method, in order to provide them with the ability to evaluate headlines and claims with a scientific approach, and to call for evidence.

His unique ability to present complex science in a manner accessible to students majoring in all fields resulted in a >4-fold increase in enrollment in Life Science classes at his University, and adoption of Life on this Rock by multiple other institutions.

Remembering his High School years, when not all students were headed to college, and most of those that were uncertain of their college major, Shea considered the potential utility of Life on this Rock: Biology for High School students.

To develop a High School version of his text, Professor Shea partnered with Kimberly A. Gonzalez, a certified high school science instructor with a Masters Degree in Education. Like Professor Shea, Ms. Gonzalez takes an active approach to learning, and recognized the appropriateness of the student-friendly language and accessibility of complex scientific processes provided by Life on this Rock.

Ms. Gonzalez developed the modifications and supplements that align Life on this Rock with the Next Generation High School Life Science Standards.

Modifications for the Special High School version of Life on this Rock include:

Vocabulary, Reading, Writing, and Speaking Strategies
Included within each chapter to help improve the academic success of both native English speakers and English language learners, along with review sheets to reinforce key concepts.
Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) Topics
Designed to help students improve their scientific analysis and writing skills. Students analyze the validity of a question by making a Claim (giving an answer to the question), providing Evidence to support their claim, and assigning Reasons why their evidence supports their claim.
Expanded Test Banks
Instructors can generate custom quizzes, tests, and exams by selecting from existing Test Banks that contain pools of Multiple Choice, True/False, Completion, and Short Answer Questions. Tests can be delivered to students and completed online via computer (and grades automatically ported to the Instructor’s Gradebook) or tests can be printed.
Instructor’s Gradebook
Online quizzes, etc., are automatically entered into a flexible Instructor Gradebook that averages entries with varying Instructor-defined weight for each entry). Instructors can manually enter additional grades or export the Gradebook into excel or other spreadsheet software. Each student sees only his/her ongoing performance.
Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) Strategies
Geared to help you help English language learners become fluent in reading, writing, and speaking academic language. These strategies are not an exhaustive list, but are merely a springboard to help reach all of the students. Each activity can be geared to the level of each student, including with native English speakers.

Dr. Shea has published over 300 scientific articles, trained 16 doctoral students, 30 Master’s degree recipients, and supervised over 35 undergraduate research projects. While he’s enjoyed teaching at all levels for 20 years, he particularly likes teaching Life Science to students majoring in other fields, where he has “the opportunity to present important aspects of science to the voters of the future.”

Dr. Shea holds his Ph.D. degree in Biology from Northeastern University, and earned his M.S. and B.A. degrees in Biology at the University of Massachusetts. He has obtained over 5 million dollars in funding for his research, from sources including the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Army Research Labs, the Alzheimer’s Association, the ALS Association, and the American Federation for Aging Research.

Dr. Shea and his team have demonstrated that certain combinations of vitamins and nutritional supplements not only delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, but if started early enough, can actually improve memory and mood in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease as well at adults without dementia. He frequently presents a wide range of seminars and workshops on the benefit of nutrition for age-related loss of memory. When not at work, Dr. Shea studies karate, where he holds a 6th degree black belt, and tends to his Japanese Garden.

Kimberly Gonzalez is currently an assistant professor at Middlesex Community College, where she teaches General Biology and Microbiology courses to life science and health science majors.

Prior to her community college appointment, Ms. Gonzalez taught high school biology, microbiology, and general biology, at various levels, for 12 years at Lowell High School.

Before becoming a teacher, Ms. Gonzalez worked as a clinical microbiologist at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, MA. She holds a B.S. in biology, and an M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction, both from the University of Massachusetts Lowell. She will complete an M.S. in biology from the University of Nebraska Kearney in the Spring of 2017.

Her teaching passion centers around the area of microbiology and student-led inquiry explorations. At her previous school, Ms. Gonzalez mentored approximately 20 high school students in conducting microbiology experiments of their choosing; an endeavor she hopes to continue at Middlesex Community College. Her student's work has been published in the Journal of Emerging Investigators.

Ms. Gonzalez developed the modifications and supplements that align Life on this Rock: AP Biology with the NGSS Life Science standards.
