CHANGES TO THIS EDITION
The author team is dedicated to producing the most engaging
and current textbook that is available for undergraduate students
who are majoring in biology. We want our students to be
inspired by the field of biology and to become critical thinkers.
To this end, we have made the following changes throughout
the entire book.
Each chapter in the second edition begins with an
interesting story or a set of observations that will capture
the students? interests as they begin to read a chapter.
? To help students test their knowledge and critical-thinking
skills, we have increased the number of Concept check
questions that are associated with the figure legends and
revised many of the questions at the end of each chapter
so they are at a higher level in Bloom?s taxonomy. An
answer key for the questions is now provided in an
appendix at the end of the book.
? To further help students appreciate the scientific process,
the Feature Investigation in each chapter now includes
three new elements: a Conclusion, the original journal
citation for the experiment, and questions that are directly
related to the experiment.
? Many photographs and micrographs have been enlarged or
replaced with better images.
? The presentation of the material has been refined by
dividing some of the chapters into smaller sections and by
the editing of complex sentences.
