CampbellTMs Biology is the gold standard in introductory biology texts. BiologyTMs writing, images, and structure have been refined with each of its eight previous editions, and it has been the most successful introductory biology text available since its first edition was published in 1987. Individual concepts in biology are explained clearly and thoroughly here, but students are also encouraged to keep sight of the big picture by making connections between chapters. Campbell BiologyTMs Ninth Edition strongly links its material together with the underlying concept of evolution. The book's Make Connections Questions help students develop their analytical and critical thinking skills by challenging them to uncover connections between ideas and concepts in biology. These connections span molecules and ecosystems, and the text's Impact Figures use real-life examples of research breakthroughs to explain them clearly. The information is presented in a concise and accurate manner, but an obvious passion for the material makes the writing in Biology a pleasure to read. New Evolution sections further emphasize the importance of evolution throughout the text, and Summary of Key Concept Questions at the end of each section help students keep their thoughts organized and their studying on track. The book's excellent Write About a Theme Questions encourage students deepen their understanding of key concepts in biology and think critically about biology's role in the real world. Campbell's Biology, Ninth Edition, also comes with full access to Mastering Biology. This online tutorial program gives students the chance to study diagrams in depth, check their knowledge, and track their class progress. Mastering Biology® is an excellent addition, and students who explore this clear and easy-to-use learning aid will come away with a much stronger handle on the concepts presented in the book. No access code included.
