Description

Features

• Each chapter focuses on five or six key concepts. The authors have restructured each chapter around a conceptual framework of five or six big ideas. An Overview draws students in and sets the stage for the rest of the chapter, each numbered Concept Head announces the beginning of a new concept, and Concept Check questions at the end of each chapter encourage students to assess their mastery of a given concept.

• The text's content engages students in scientific inquiry. New Inquiry Figures focus students on the experimental process, and new Research Method Figures illustrate important techniques in biology. Each chapter ends with a Scientific Inquiry Question that asks students to apply scientific investigation skills to the content of the chapter.

• Exploring Figures help students study efficiently and emphasize the big picture.

• A team of seven stellar contributors brings current research perspectives to the Seventh Edition, including Lisa Urry (Mills College), Manuel Molles (University of New Mexico), Peter Minorsky (Mercy College), Chris Wills (University of California, San Diego), and Carl Zimmer.

• Exceptionally well-integrated, cross-referenced supplements provide a wealth of timesaving tools for instructors, and opportunities for students to practice and master biology.

New To This Edition

• A new Chapter 1 introduces students to systems biology and to science as a process of discovery and inquiry.

• The chapter that introduces metabolism is now in the Cell Unit, just before the chapters on cellular respiration and photosynthesis, providing students with a cohesive view of energy transformations.

• The updated Genetics Unit incorporates the theme of systems biology and offers new sections on molecular evolution and genomics.

• The Evolution Unit features new examples that highlight experimental approaches to the study of evolution.

• A new chapter, “The Tree of Life,” provides an overview of major episodes in the history of life as a transition from the chapters on evolution to the chapters on biological diversity.

• The revised Diversity Unit conveys the dynamic and exciting research across organismal biology resulting from advances in genomics.

• The unit on Plant Form and Function incorporates recent developments in molecular plant biology, such as “smart” plants, and highlights potential applications of systems biology to the study of plants.

• The physiology of diverse animals is examined in a more ecological context in the unit on Animal Form and Function, which also includes a new section on the vertebrate brain.

• A new animal behavior chapter in the Ecology Unit provides a modern approach to the field, with expanded coverage of game theory, mate choice, and animal cognition. The capstone chapter highlights restoration ecology throughout.

• Eight new interviews with renowned researchers will inspire students and show them the human side of science.

  Helping Students Make Connections Across Biology

   

  Campbell BIOLOGY is the unsurpassed leader in introductory biology. The text’s hallmark values—accuracy, currency, and passion for teaching and learning—have made it the most successful college introductory biology book for eight consecutive editions.

   

  Building on the Key Concepts chapter framework of previous editions, Campbell BIOLOGY, Ninth Edition helps students keep sight of the “big picture” by encouraging them to:

  • Make connections across chapters in the text, from molecules to ecosystems, with new Make Connections Questions
  • Make connections between classroom learning, research breakthroughs, and the real world with new Impact Figures
  • Make connections to the overarching theme of evolution in every chapter with new Evolution sections
  • Make connections at a higher cognitive level through new Summary of Key Concepts Questions and Write About a Theme Questions
  • Make connections outside of class with MasteringBiology^®, the most widely-used online assessment and tutorial program for biology

Author Bios

Neil A. Campbell combined the investigative nature of a research scientist with the soul of an experienced and caring teacher. He earned his M.A. in Zoology from UCLA and his Ph.D. in Plant Biology from the University of California, Riverside, where he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2001. Dr. Campbell published numerous research articles on how certain desert plants thrive in salty soil and how sensitive plant (Mimosa) and other legumes move their leaves. His 30 years of teaching in diverse environments included general biology courses at Cornell University, Pomona College, and San Bernardino Valley College, where he received the college's first Outstanding Professor Award in 1986. Most recently Dr. Campbell was a visiting scholar in the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at the University of California, Riverside. In addition to his authorship of this book, he coauthored Biology: Concepts & Connections and Essential Biology with Jane Reece. Each year, over 600,000 students worldwide use Campbell/Reece biology textbooks.

Jane B. Reece has worked in biology publishing since 1978, when she joined the editorial staff of Benjamin Cummings. Her education includes an A.B. in Biology from Harvard University, an M.S. in Microbiology from Rutgers University, and a Ph.D. in Bacteriology from the University of California, Berkeley. At UC Berkeley and later as a post-doctoral fellow in genetics at Stanford University, her research focused on genetic recombination in bacteria. Dr. Reece taught biology at Middlesex County College (New Jersey) and Queensborough Community College (New York). As an editor at Benjamin Cummings, Dr. Reece played major roles in a number of successful textbooks. In addition to being a coauthor with Neil Campbell on BIOLOGY, Biology: Concepts & Connections, and Essential Biology, she coauthored The World of the Cell, Third Edition, with W.M. Becker and M.F. Poenie.
