Life, Learning, and Community : concepts and models for service-learning in biology by David C. Brubaker & Joel H. Ostroff
This book represents the 18th of AAHE s series on service-learning in the disciplines and focuses on service-learning strategies and models in biology. Although, there are obvious applications for service-learning in such fields as nursing and teacher education, incorporating it into natural science courses has not always seemed practical to science instructors. This book not only provides strong arguments for using service-learning in biology courses but also gives real life examples of how it has been successfully used in biology curricula."
