Reach every student by pairing this text with Mastering Biology
Learn more about Mastering Biology.
Guide students through complex biological processes with engaging visuals
●29 Figure Walkthrough Videos, created and narrated by the authors, give students short, clear, and concise explanations of key figures in each chapter. The videos are embedded in Pearson eText, accessible through QR codes in the print text, and assignable in Mastering Biology.
Innovative approaches to teaching and learning
●Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules make use of teaching tools for before, during, and after class, including new ideas for in-class activities. The modules incorporate the best that the text, Mastering Biology, and Learning Catalytics have to offer and can be accessed through the Instructor Resources area of Mastering Biology.
●Pearson eText integrates the electronic text with over 85 rich media assets created by the author team, including Videos, Animations, New Figure Walkthroughs, Video Tutors, Topic Overview Videos, BioFlix, and also  MP3 Audio Tutors—all in customizable formats that students can use on smartphones, tablets, and computers.
●Learning Catalytics^™ helps generate class discussion, customize lectures, and promote peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. Learning Catalytics acts as a student response tool ath uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more interactive tasks and thinking.
。NEW! Upload a full PowerPoint^® deck for easy creation of slide questions.
●More resources to teach using the “Vision and Change” biological themes: New Mastering activities and in-text assessments relate to the V&C themes throughout the text, and instructor lecture slides incorporate examples in the chapter to offer guidance on including these in your classroom.

• Every chapter begins with a Why It Matters photo collage that illustrates the importance of that chapter's concepts in students' lives.
• A Chapter Thread, a high-interest topic that is touched on several times in a chapter, ties together the content of each chapter.
• The Process of Science essays present the background, method, and results from scientific studies and help students understand how science works.
• Biology and Society essays help students relate biology to their lives and the greater society.
• Evo!ution Connection essays demonstrate how the theme of evolution runs through all aspects of biology.

ERIC J. SIMON is a professor in the Department of Biology and Health Science at New England College (Henniker, New Hampshire). He teaches introductory biology to science majors and nonscience majors, as well as upper-level courses in tropical marine biology and careers in science. Dr. Simon received a B.A. in biology and computer science, an M.A. in biology from Wesleyan University, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Harvard University. His research focuses on innovative ways to use technology to increase active learning in the science classroom, particularly for nonscience majors. Dr. Simon is also the author of the introductory biology textbook Biology: The Core, 2nd Edition, and a coauthor of Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections, 9th Edition.
JEAN L. DICKEY is Professor Emerita of Biological Sciences at Clemson University (Clemson, South Carolina). After receiving her B.S. in biology from Kent State University, she went on to earn a Ph.D. in ecology and evolution from Purdue University. In 1984, Dr. Dickey joined the faculty at Clemson, where she devoted her career to teaching biology to nonscience majors in a variety of courses. In addition to creating content-based instructional materials, she developed many activities to engage lecture and laboratory students in discussion, critical thinking, and writing, and implemented an investigative laboratory curriculum in general biology. Dr. Dickey is the author of Laboratory Investigations for Biology, 2nd Edition, and is a coauthor of Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections, 9th Edition.
JANE B. REECE was Neil Campbell’s longtime collaborator and a founding author of Campbell Essential Biology and Campbell Essential Biology with Physiology. Her education includes an A.B. in biology from Harvard University (where she was initially a philosophy major), 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 postdoctoral 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). Dr. Reece’s publishing career began in 1978 when she joined the editorial staff of Benjamin Cummings, and since then, she played a major role in a number of successful textbooks. She was the lead author of Campbell Biology Editions 8—10 and a founding author of Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections.
NEIL A. CAMPBELL (1946—2004) combined the inquiring nature of a research scientist with the soul of a caring teacher. Over his 30 years of teaching introductory biology to both science majors and nonscience majors, many thousands of students had the opportunity to learn from him and be stimulated by his enthusiasm for the study of life. He is greatly missed by his many friends in the biology community. His coauthors remain inspired by his visionary dedication to education and are committed to searching for ever better ways to engage students in the wonders of biology.
