Biology & Microbiology

This brief text consistently relates core course material to students’ lives, clarifies the process of science and demonstrates how the theme of evolution integrates all of biology.

Hailed for its clear writing, scientific accuracy, and real-world examples, Essential Biology is a brief non-majors biology text that focuses on the core concepts students need to make scientifically informed decisions throughout their lives. The book covers four major topics–cells, genetics, evolution/diversity, and ecology–and uses evolution as an overarching theme to tie all 20 chapters together. Human applications and the most up-to-date information on important issues show students how biology relates to their own lives.  New Process of Science sections within the text draw students into the material and provide real-world examples of how the scientific method is applied.

The Third Edition features dynamic new resources designed to focus students’ study time and help them master the most challenging topics in the course. New state-of-the-art eTutor animations and audio MP3 Tutor Sessions guide students through the most challenging topics in biology. A customized Study Plan on the accompanying website pinpoints exactly where students have trouble, and directs them to relevant sections of the text and media for help.

The Third Edition also includes the new Media Manager, which organizes all the instructor and student media in one convenient location, allowing instructors to easily and efficiently create engaging lectures. Three new types of assessment questions that test visual, quantitative, and critical-thinking skills offer new and creative ways to test student understanding.

• A clear, friendly writing style is a hallmark of this text. The text is written specifically for non-science majors and has a solid reputation for accuracy.
• Focused coverage of core concepts makes this brief book manageable for one-semester courses.
• A wide range of human applications throughout the book continually shows students how biology relates to their own lives.
• Biology and Society application essays open each chapter, drawing students into the material and showing them how it is relevant to their lives. Topics range from fad diets to blood doping to cell therapy.
• Evolution Connections at the end of each chapter join the chapter content to the overarching theme of evolution.
• Visual Summaries in the chapter review use unique summary illustrations to help students review and to visualize difficult concepts.
• Benjamin Cummings’ exclusive Current Issues in Biology, from Scientific American, brings students the best of both worlds: accessible, relevant, and dynamic articles on high-interest topics–like performance-enhancing drugs, Mad Cow Disease, and STD’s–paired with the authority, reliability , and clarity of Essential Biology. New PowerPoint slides for each article make it easier than ever to incorporate the content and images from these articles into class.

• New eTutor instructor animations and student tutorials on the most challenging topics in biology provide dynamic and efficient presentations tools and interactive exercises that in turn help students master challenging content like cellular respiration, mitosis and meiosis, and protein synthesis. 35  new tutorials are embedded within 7  new animation suites on the toughest topics in biology.
• MP3 Tutor sessions walk students through the difficult topics like gene regulation, global warming, and transpiration.  22 total tutor sessions.
• A customized study plan for every student on the accompanying website helps students focus their study time by identifying where they have trouble, and directs them to relevant sections of the text and media for help. Post-study assessment quizzes allow students to identify whether they have mastered the content and provide suggestions for additional study.
• New Essential Biology Media Manager Instructor CD-ROMs organize all instructor and student media resources by chapter for easy reference and classroom presentation. Users can build a shopping cart of media assets, which can be easily downloaded to their computers. Tutorials and a PowerPoint® “study card” help instructors create memorable lectures that incorporate figures, videos, and animations.
• New Process of Science boxes throughout the book give students real-world examples of how the scientific method is applied. Both classic and contemporary experiments are featured to show students how scientists pursue new questions.
• New Biology and Society essays focus on the most current examples of applied biology and get students interested in the chapter content. Topics range from fad diets to blood doping to cell therapy.
• Updated content throughout including DNA Technology Chapter (Chapter 12) has been thoroughly revised to include the latest scientific breakthroughs in the field.
• New assessment questions break beyond the basic fact recall questions found in most textbooks and give instructors a new and creative way to test student comprehension. Three question categories:

• Interpreting art questions foster visual learning.
• Interpreting graphs and data questions focus on quantitative skills.
• Scenario questions encourage critical thinking and help students actively apply what they have learned.
