Biology + eText (24 months) | Neil CAMPBELL, Jane REECE

Studying biology means discovering a discipline at its peak. Inseparable from contemporary culture, biology is more visible and influential than ever: remarkable progress has led to an unparalleled understanding of life at every level of its organization, from molecules to the biosphere, including cells and ecosystems. In order to transmit this wealth of knowledge as clearly and faithfully as possible, _Biology_ regularly evolves. For this 9th edition (4th French edition): The content of the chapters has been heavily revised to reflect the latest developments in knowledge. In particular, Parts 3 (Genetics) and 4 (Mechanisms of Evolution) have been significantly updated, as well as Part 8 (Ecology), which has been completely restructured and a new chapter (56) highlights the importance of conservation. The iconography has been completely revised. New figures have been introduced to present the implications of recent discoveries. They are accompanied by questions "Why is this important," "What if?," and "To learn more." Some illustrations have a 3D graphic treatment that helps to understand biological structures. New summary figures help to grasp important categories at a glance. Scientific research, always honored in Biology, plays a more important role than ever. Today, it is highlighted through "Investigation" figures, which review key experiments, and "Research Method" figures, which present techniques and tools of modern biology. Evolution and ten other cross-cutting themes connect the concepts. Evolution accounts for both the unity and diversity of life and, in doing so, unifies all aspects of biology. Thus, it serves as the common thread throughout all editions of Biology. Secondary threads are used to establish connections between concepts and chapters - they are recognizable by the "Make Connections" icon. Beyond these innovations, _Biology_ still stands out for its pedagogy, clarity, and integrated approach. Unmatched so far, Neil Campbell's work is the ideal introductory and in-depth course manual to accompany students throughout their studies. **Pearson eText __: The book in electronic format, resources, and interactive reading tools combined in a single online workspace.** - A simple access solution: no download, no installation, access code provided with the book for two years, accessible online or on iPad. - Powerful tools for active and personalized reading: highlighting, annotations, bookmarks, double-page or full-screen display, zoom on a paragraph. - Interactive resources to review and consolidate knowledge: an interactive index, a powerful search engine. - For teachers, cutting-edge digital tools: a selection of chapters and resources, sharing annotations and web links with students, ability to project the text in class using Interactive Whiteboard tools.
