From preserving Earth's plants and animals to altering our use of fossil fuels, none of these decisions can be made wisely without a thorough understanding of life's history on our planet through biological evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompanion to the best selling title \u003ci\u003eTeaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science, Evolution in Hawaii\u003c\/i\u003e examines evolution and the nature of science by looking at a specific part of the world. Tracing the evolutionary pathways in Hawaii, we are able to draw powerful conclusions about evolution's occurrence, mechanisms, and courses. This practical book has been specifically designed to give teachers and their students an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of evolution using exercises with real genetic data to explore and investigate speciation and the probable order in which speciation occurred based on the ages of the Hawaiian Islands. By focusing on one set of islands, this book illuminates the general principles of evolutionary biology and demonstrate how ongoing research will continue to expand our knowledge of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academy of Sciences, Steve Olson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309089913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309089913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.30w x 0.20d","brand":"National Academy of Sciences","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070108102911,"sku":"9780309089913","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b29714fa-1f40-4e01-ad5d-8e4e4ab8c392.jpg?v=1685428402","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evolution-in-hawaii-national-academy-of-sciences-9780309089913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
