The authors' unique storytelling style engages students in biology, with a greater focus on written and visual analogies. Research and Validity Pearson is proud of the fact that for over half a century we have used a variety of types of research as a base on which to build our instructional materials. Over the years, we have worked collaboratively with our authors to make continual program improvements based on empirical, scientific research.
