It is limited in terms of interactivity and is still a text heavy presentation. The text includes detailed images and graphs that are well done and help drive home visual concepts. An instructor could easily remix this with more current, relevant, and culturally deeper examples. There does not appear to be a great deal of bias with this work, since its positioning is relatively generic to the facts and figures and it typically steers clear of opinions and judgments. A few of the examples given in the text could be a bit dated, which indicates that its utility may come from linking to specific parts of the course rather than using it as an entire textbook substitute. The material presented in this resource is generally accurate especially considering that it reflects standard business practices and concepts that have changed little. This is an entire course/e-textbook that was formerly the Boundless Business text that was purchased by Lumen Learning and maintained in its current form. From its earliest beginnings, biology has restled with these questions: What are the shared properties that make something “alive”? And once we know something is alive, how do we find meaningful levels of organization in its structure? Similarly, some biologists study the early molecular evolution that gave rise to life since the events that preceded life are not biological events, these scientists are also excluded from biology in the strict sense of the term. Consequently, virologists are not biologists, strictly speaking. It turns out that although viruses can attack living organisms, cause diseases, and even reproduce, they do not meet the criteria that biologists use to define life. For example, a branch of biology called virology studies viruses, which exhibit some of the characteristics of living entities but lack others. Biology is the science that studies life, but what exactly is life? This may sound like a silly question with an obvious response, but it is not always easy to define life.
