Rather than a phylogenetic approach, going group by group, the book considers what defines organisms and examines four general areas of their biology: structure (their composition and how it comes to be), reproduction (including sex), energy and material needs, and their interactions with conditions and with other organisms. Although much of the text is devoted to vascular plants, the book comparatively considers ‘EBA = everything but animals’ (hence the title): plants, photosynthetic organisms that are not plants (‘algae’, as well as some bacteria and archaebacteria), fungi, and ‘fungal-like’ organisms. The book includes brief ‘fact sheets’ of over fifty organisms/groups that biologists should be aware of, ranging from the very familiar (corn, yeast) to the unfamiliar (bracket fungi, late-blight of potato). These groups reflect the diversity of inanimate life.10132021-06-28T20:32:33Z2024-03-18T13:23:58ZNursing Fundamentals<img alt="Read more about Nursing Fundamentals" title="Nursing Fundamentals cover image" class="cover " width="675" height="1000" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjQ1MywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--27197b19d7551e4cc49805c82bd50caf92b750ce/Fundamentals_approved-1.jpg" />This Nursing Fundamentals textbook is an open educational resource with CC-BY licensing developed for entry-level nursing students. Content is based on the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) statewide nursing curriculum for the Nursing Fundamentals course (543-101), the 2019 NCLEX-RN Test Plan, the 2020 NCLEX-PN Test Plan, and the Wisconsin Nurse Practice Act. This book introduces the entry-level nursing student to the scope of nursing practice, various communication techniques, and caring for diverse patients. The nursing process is used as a framework for providing patient care based on the following nursing concepts: safety, oxygenation, comfort, spiritual well-being, grief and loss, sleep and rest, mobility, nutrition, fluid and electrolyte imbalance, and elimination. Care for patients with integumentary disorders and cognitive or sensory impairments is also discussed. Learning activities have been incorporated into each chapter to encourage students to use critical thinking while applying content to patient care situations.9932021-04-09T21:35:31Z2024-01-22T19:09:05ZFrom Growing to Biology: Plants 1e<img alt="Read more about From Growing to Biology: Plants 1e" title="From Growing to Biology: Plants 1e cover image" class="cover " width="480" height="640" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjIyMCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--f82241fd6238287a39d5c615b001788b2bac9c22/medium-4a531a8d05f94307d6f8065f357ae290.jpg" />Ready to find out how plants are grown and function?

Yay! So. What is microbiology? If we break the word down it translates to “the study of small life,” where the small life refers to microorganisms or microbes. But who are the microbes? And how small are they? Generally microbes can be divided in to two categories: the cellular microbes (or organisms) and the acellular microbes (or agents). In the cellular camp we have the bacteria, the archaea, the fungi, and the protists (a bit of a grab bag composed of algae, protozoa, slime molds, and water molds). Cellular microbes can be either unicellular, where one cell is the entire organism, or multicellular, where hundreds, thousands or even billions of cells can make up the entire organism. In the acellular camp we have the viruses and other infectious agents, such as prions and viroids. In this textbook the focus will be on the bacteria and archaea (traditionally known as the “prokaryotes,”) and the viruses and other acellular agents.8492020-06-27T15:00:47Z2024-01-22T14:52:10ZInterpreting Canada’s 2019 Food Guide and Food Labelling for Health Professionals<img alt="Read more about Interpreting Canada’s 2019 Food Guide and Food Labelling for Health Professionals" title="Interpreting Canada’s 2019 Food Guide and Food Labelling for Health Professionals cover image" class="cover " width="2551" height="3301" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEwNSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--3bb8bc0ce9bb9dc4cc725957e595940019c3472f/interpretfood.jpg" />This textbook provides the novice learner with a foundational understanding of Canada’s 2019 Food Guide and Food Labelling.
