[edit] BIOLOGY
The authors have updated each of the books eight units to reflect the progress in our understanding of life at many levels, from molecules to ecosystems.
With Biology, Sixth Edition, authors Neil Campbell and Jane Reece have once again crafted a synthesis of modern biology that you and your students can depend on for clear explanations, innovative illustrations, and scientific accuracy. Here are just a few of the improvements that make the most widely-adopted science textbook better than ever. * The Campbell/Reece brand of current content - The authors have thoroughly updated each of the books eight units to reflect the exiting progress in our understanding of life at its many levels, from molecules to ecosystems. You can count on Campbell and Reece to make topics as diverse as The Human Genome Project and the revolution in systematics accessible to your students without oversimplification. Other examples of updated content include HIV as a research model in evolutionary biology, the role of cell-signaling pathways in plant responses, new frontiers in neurobiology, and experimental approaches that are advancing ecology. * The added expertise of leading scientists - To assure accurate representation of each field of biology, a team of stellar specialists guided the updating of several chapters. These contributors include science historian Garland Allen (Washington University, St. Louis), neuroscientist Deric Bownds (University of Wisconsin), physiological ecologist Mark Chappell (University of California, Riverside), botanist Linda Graham (University of Wisconsin), ecologist Charles Krebs (University of British Columbia), plant physiologist Peter Minorsky (Vassar College), immunologist Mary Jane Niles (University of San Francisco), and evolutionary biologist Mark Ridley (Oxford University). * New 'Guided Tour' diagrams - The authors and their art team have reinvented many illustrations to take students on 'Guided Tours' through complex biological structures and processes. These inventive new diagrams are just one example of how this new edition of Biology extends the textbooks leadership in the use of graphics to help students grasp difficult concepts. * An even greater emphasis on the process of science - The authors have created a new Chapter 1 that uses fresh examples to introduce students to science as a way of knowing nature. A new feature highlights examples of the process of science throughout the book, and each chapter includes a 'Process of Science' question that encourages students to experience science. Media activities give students additional practice with experimentation and analysis of data. And eight new interviews with renowned researchers humanize science as a social activity. * An evolution theme more pervasive than ever - Greater emphasis on evolution in Chapter 1, many new sections throughout the book that provide an evolutionary perspective for diverse topics, and evolution questions for students to answer at the ends of all chapters are examples of how the authors have strengthened evolution as the theme that integrates Biology, Sixth Edition. * Enriched chapter reviews - Countering the trend to make textbooks lighter by reducing the learning tools available to students at the ends of chapters, the authors have made the chapter reviews in Biology, Sixth Edition more robust and effective than ever. In addition to the excellent chapter summaries and thoughtful multiple choice questions of earlier editions, the chapter reviews now include short-answer questions and various categories of questions designed to catalyze student inquiry. * Media supplements for instructors that live up to the quality of the textbook - Just one example of a media package thats better than ever is the new Campbell Image Presentation Library, a chapter-by-chapter archive that includes over 1000 photos from various sources, all of the textbooks art several convenient formats including PowerPoint, new animations in addition to those available on the student CD-ROM, and dozens of video clips. * Integrated media for students.
