Description and Table of Contents
Description
Intended for non-majors or mixed biology courses.
Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections continues to introduce pedagogical innovations, which motivate students not only to learn, but also engage with biology. This bestselling textbook is designed to help students stay focused with its hallmark modular organisation around central concepts and engages students in connections between concepts and the world outside of the classroom with Scientific Thinking, Evolution Connection and Connection essays in every chapter.
The 9th Edition offers students a framework organised around fundamental biological themes and encourages them to analyse visual representations of data with new Visualising the Data figures. A reorganised Chapter One emphasises the process of science and scientific reasoning, and robust instructor resources and multimedia allow students to engage with biological concepts in a memorable way. Unparalleled resources let instructors develop active and high interest lectures with ease.
