Fourth, the broad themes that unify all subjects within biology are explicitly called out in blue multiple times within each chapter.
Finally, to maintain a cohesive narrative throughout each chapter, the content is tied together with a unifying chapter thread, a relevant high-interest topic that is touched on several times in the chapter and woven throughout the three feature essays. Thus, this unifying chapter thread ties together the pedagogical goals of the course, using a topic that is compelling and relevant to students.
This latest edition of Campbell Essential Biology goes even further than previous editions to help students relate the material to their lives, understand the process of science, and appreciate how broad themes unify all aspects of biology.
To this end, they have added significant new features and content to this edition:. We have restructured each chapter to bring its key concepts into even sharper focus The discovery explosion that makes modem biology so exci ing also threatens to suffocate students under an avalanche of information, The past few editions of BIOLOGY set the details ina context of key concepts, typically ten to twenty per chap- ter: In this new edition, we have taken the next evolutionary step of restructuring each chapter to help students focus on fewer, even bigger ideas—typically just five or six k cepts per chapter.
A new Overview section at the beginning of each chapter sets an even broader context for the key concepts that follow. In our ongoing imeractions with students and instructors, hey have responded enthusiastically to our new orga and pedagogy. Figure references ia. Thus, each Explor ing Figure is eferenced in the main text body where ic fits into the development ofa concept, just asthe text points students toall the other supporting figures at the appropriate places in the narrative.
In both the lecture hall and labo- ratony colleagues are experimenting with. You can find a list of the Inguity and Research Method Figures on pages xxx. These new features lke the Exploring Figures, are integral to chap.
In each case, realistic scenario sets up a series of inquiry-based activities The cases work well either as class-discussion projects or as take-home assignments for students working alone, or better, in smalt groups.
Another student-centered supplement is Practicing Biol- ogy, by Jean Heitz, University of Wisconsin, Madison, which When bacteria infect an aa, the nunaber ef acerta i the body Inereses in a exponen fasbion graph A , Alter tfeton by 9 lent animal vrs with a ye epmoicive cycle, here 19 evidence of infection fora wile.
Inquiry Questions, Media Investigations, and the new Biological Inquiry Workbook help siudents practice scientific inquiy. Eight new interviews that introduce the eight units of the textbook provide students with windows to inquisitive minds that are driving progress in biology and con- necting science to society. We believe that such an un- balanced reaction to the call for inquiry-based reform Is tikely to leave most students frusttated and illequipped to practice active inguiry in their lahs, course projects, class discussions, and Socratic lecture enviroriments, It BIOLOGY, Seventh Edi- tion, we have carefully integrated the inquiry-based.
In fact, we are delighted to receive mmerous letiers and emails from upper-division studems and graduate students, including inedical stodents, expressing thet appre- ciation for the long-termn value of BIOLOGY as a general re- source for their continuing education. The eight units of the book are largely self-contained, and most of the chapters within cach unit can be assigned in a different sequence.
But a5 in all previous editions, the central theme is evolution, which unifies all of biology by ac- counting for both the unity and diversity of life. The evol- onary theme is woven into every chapter af BIOLOGY, Evolution and the other whole-book themes work with the chapter evel concepts to help students construct a coherent view of life that will serve them long after they have Sergottea the details fossiized in any biology textbook.
The same can be said for maleing a biology textbook. We are paricularly geaefl to the seven Contnisutors and Advisers listed on the uille page, whose ex reise has ensured that the book is current ancl enbivened with fresh examples, We worked especinlty closely wit developmental biologist isa Urry, ha had maior responsiblity for updating content and ime plemecuing cur new format and features for Units and Chapter Equally helpful was ecologist Manuel Molles, who brought his sciemific and teaching expertise to the revision of Unit 8, ening the structure ofthe unit and its verbal and visual presentation of eralogy; he played a major tote rewriting the behav- ioral ecology chaptet, which essentially new He also helped provide a more ccologal patapeciveto Chapters Plant biologst Peter Minorsky helped bring Unit 6 up 10 date.
OF course we alone bea the responsi- Fnlity foe any ertrs that remain in the tex, but the dedication of our contributors, advisers, veviewers, andl comtespondents makes us espe- tally confident in the accuracy otis edition. Tnerviews with prominent schemig have been a hallmark of BIOLOGY since its imception, and conducting these intentews wes again one ofthe great pleasures of revising the text. We recognize thatthe dedicated authors of these ma terials are essentially writing min and not so mine boas.

Once again, we thank our long-time colleague Marty Taylor for hey excellent and student-ocused work on the Student Stuy Guide; she as now compleced seven editions ofthis popular scudent aid in adinion, we ate grate to the many other people—biology instractors, editor, antsts, prediction expers, and maurators—who are listed in the credits fo the impressive elec- tronic medi that accompany the book.
