The Sciences: An Integrated Approach, 8th Edition, by James Trefil and Robert Hazen, uses an approach that recognizes that science forms a seamless web of knowledge about the universe. This text and the new WileyPLUS fully integrates physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth sciences, and biology and emphasizes general principles and their application to real- world situations. The goal of the text is to help students achieve scientific literacy. Applauded by students and instructors for its easy-to-read style and detail appropriate for non-science majors, the eighth edition has been updated to bring the most up-to-date coverage to the students in all areas of science.
