Reinforced Binding
What does it mean?
For adopting schools this means these texts can be expected to be more durable and last longer when
subjected to daily classroom use in a school environment where textbooks are adopted for multiple years.
This text has been adopted by colleges and universities yet is often used in high schools for teaching
honors, elective, and college prep courses. Because advanced high school program adoption periods often
last several years and a text must stand up to usage by multiple students, McGraw-Hill has elected to
manufacture this text in a manner compliant with the “Manufacturing Standards and Specifi cations for
Textbooks” (MSST) published by the “National Association of State Textbook Administrators” (NASTA).
The MSST manufacturing guidelines provide guidance and minimum standards for the binding, paper type,
and other physical characteristics of a text with the goal of making it more durable. These manufacturing
standards are in common use for manufacturing of basal level texts. For full production specifi cation detail

About the Author
Ricki Lewis has built a multifaceted career
around communicating the excitement of
life science, especially genetics and biotech-
nology. She earned her Ph.D. in genetics
in 1980 from Indiana University, working
with homeotic mutations in Drosophila
melanogaster.
Ricki is the original author of L ife, an
introductory biology text; co-author of two
human anatomy and physiology textbooks;
and author of D iscovery: Windows on the Life
Sciences, an essay collection. She writes and
speaks frequently on research and news in
genetics, biotechnology, and neuroscience
and blogs at blog.bioethics.net. Since 1980,
Ricki has published widely, including one
of the first stories on DNA profiling, in
Discover magazine. She has taught a variety
of life science courses at Miami University,
the University at Albany, Empire State
College, and community colleges. She has
also written a novel about stem cells, genetic
disease, and iPods.
Ricki has been a genetic counselor for a
large private medical practice in Schenectady,
NY, since 1984, and is very active as a hospice
volunteer.
Ricki lives in upstate New York and some-
times Martha's Vineyard with chemist hus-
band Larry, three daughters, and many cats.
