Description

Features

What if your students could see the relevance of biology to society and their lives?

• The Biology and Society opening essay relates biology to your students’ lives and interests.
• The Process of Science gives students real-world examples of how the scientific method is applied.
• The Evolution Connection concludes the chapter by demonstrating how the theme of evolution runs throughout all of biology.
• These three features (Biology and Society, Process of Science, Evolution Connection) are now connected by a highly relevant unifying chapter thread.
• MasteringBiology provides assignable, auto-graded quizzes that prompt students to read current New York Times articles or watch Discovery Channel videos, so instructors have a time-saving way to incorporate relevant biology topics from the news and media.

What if you had more resources to help visual learners?

• Unique Chapter Reviews help visual learners study for the test using art that was created specifically for reviewing and visualizing the main take-home concepts.
• Figures and their text descriptions are always on the same page--students never have to flip a page to connect words and images on the same concepts.
• Green figure numbers help students’ eyes easily move between the text and the figures.

What if you had tools to help your students practice without increasing your workload?

• For students who learn by practicing: Expanded Checkpoint questions present students with frequent questions (both fact recall and applied) to test their understanding as they read. Checkpoint questions appear in the margins. For instant feedback, the answer appears directly under the question.
• MasteringBiology Study Area offers a self-study resource with practice quizzes and personalized study plans that students can access 24/7 without an instructor’s involvement.

What if you had tools to reach students who spend hours online?

• Eric Simon’s MP3 Tutor Sessions help auditory learners understand the concepts and language of biology.

 Campbell Essential Biology... Essential Solutions

New To This Edition

What if your students could see the relevance of biology to society and their lives?

• The Chapter Thread weaves a single compelling topic throughout the chapter. Students will consistently find this thread at the beginning, middle, and end of each chapter. For example, the chapter thread for Chapter 7 Photosynthesis is “Harnessing Solar Energy.” Students start the chapter by learning about green energy in Biology and Society. They revisit the chapter thread by reading how scientists researched solar energy in Process of Science. Students conclude the chapter with an opportunity to appreciate how evolutionary adaptations are linked to harnessing solar energy in the Evolution Connection.  

What if you had more resources to help visual learners?

• NEW! Visual Organizers help students see important categories. Headings help students identify the subject of figures, and subheadings help students spot categories at once.
• 75% new photos engage students by anchoring illustrations to realistic images.
• Expanded BioFlix^™ 3-D Animations help students visualize and learn difficult biology topics. Expanded BioFlix 3-D Animations on Mechanisms of Evolution, The Carbon Cycle, Population Ecology, Regulating Blood Sugar, and Homeostasis offer new options to help students visualize these tough topics.  

What if you had tools to reach students who spend hours online?

• NEW! Eric Simon’s Video Tutor Sessions walk students through tough topics with clearly explained visuals. Topics include Mitosis and Meiosis, Sex Linked Pedigrees, DNA Profiling Techniques, Biodiversity, and Phylogenetic Trees.

What if you could help your busiest students succeed?

• NEW! book design helps students study efficiently and find content.

• Students can find chapters using the tabs on the left, and quickly locate units by the color of the tabs.
• Frequent Checkpoint questions, located in the margins, help students assess their understanding. For instant feedback the answer appears directly under the question.

• Students can locate the main heading at the top of a page.
• Using the colored tab at the top corner of each right-hand page, students can remember the main topic.

• NEW! eText gives students online access to the text 24/7. The eText pages look exactly like the printed text, and include powerful interactive and customization functions.

Do you want your students to leave the course with awareness of how they can make a positive impact on the environment and our Earth’s future?

• A significantly updated ecology unit (Chapters 18-20) is restructured by new coauthor Jean Dickey to show how the fundamental principles of ecology are the key to solving environmental problems including deforestation and diminishing freshwater resources.

What if you could increase participation and accountability in your non-majors biology course?

• NEW! MasteringBiology is an online assessment and tutorial system designed to help instructors teach more efficiently, and pedagogically proven to help students learn. It helps instructors maximize class time with customizable, easy-to-assign, and automatically graded assessments that motivate students to learn outside of class and arrive prepared for lecture. The powerful gradebook provides unique insight into student and class performance even before the first test. As a result, instructors can spend class time where students need it most. The Mastering system empowers students to take charge of their learning through activities aimed at different learning styles, and engages them in learning science through practice and step-by-step guidance–at their convenience, 24/7.

MasteringBiology allows non-majors biology instructors to-

• Break free from strictly multiple-choice questions with a wide variety of automatically graded assignment options.
• Gain useful insight into students’ misunderstandings with at-a-glance data for making just-in-time teaching adjustments.
• Customize and personalize all questions and answers in the assignments, or add your own materials.

    Brief Description  | 

  

  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.

Author Bios

Eric J. Simon is an associate professor of biology at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire. He teaches introductory biology to both science majors and non-science majors, as well as upper-level courses in genetics, microbiology, and molecular biology. Dr. Simon received a B.A. in biology and computer science and 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 improve teaching and learning in the science classroom, particularly for non-science majors. Eric is the lead author of the introductory biology textbooks "Essential Biology" and "Essential Biology with Physiology" and is a co-author on "Biology: Concepts and Connections."
 

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 (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). She is the lead author of Biology, Eighth Edition, and Biology: Concepts & Connections, Sixth Edition.

Jean L. Dickey is a professor of biology at Clemson University. She had no idea that science was interesting until her senior year in high school, when a scheduling problem landed her in advanced biology. Abandoning plans to study English or foreign languages, she enrolled in Kent State University as a biology major. After receiving her B.S. in biology, she went on to earn a Ph.D. in ecology and evolution from Purdue University. Since joining the faculty at Clemson in 1984, Dr. Dickey has specialized in teaching non-science majors, including a course designed for pre-service elementary teachers and workshops for in-service teachers. She also developed an investigative laboratory curriculum for general biology. Dr. Dickey is the author of Laboratory Investigations for Biology, Second Edition, and is a coauthor of Biology: Concepts & Connections, 6th Edition.

  Campbell Essential Biology, Fourth Edition provides essential, effective solutions to the challenges faced by instructors and their students in the non-majors biology course.  

  1. Three features (Biology and Society, Process of Science, and Evolution Connections) found at the beginning, middle and end of every chapter give students a memorable framework to take with them into the future.
  2. One compelling topic anchors the three book features in each chapter to emphasize how biology is highly relevant.
  3. The book and the media are designed from the ground up to teach biology to a wide range of students.
  4. MasteringBiology, our online tutorial and assessment system, makes it easy to increase student participation and accountability.
