Inquiry into Life was originally developed to reach out to science-shy students. The text now represents one of the cornerstones of introductory biology education and was founded on the belief that teaching science from a human perspective, coupled with human applications, makes the material more relevant to the student. As scientists and educators, the authors are aware that scientific discovery is a dynamic process and the advances in digital publishing are allowing authors to update content on a regular basis.
