Connect with us to learn more. ERIC J. He teaches introductory biology to science majors and nonscience majors, as well as upper-level courses in tropical marine biology and careers in science.

Simon received a B. His research focuses on innovative ways to use technology to increase active learning in the science classroom, particularly for nonscience majors. JEAN L. After receiving her B. In , Dr. Dickey joined the faculty at Clemson, where she devoted her career to teaching biology to nonscience majors in a variety of courses.

In addition to creating content-based instructional materials, she developed many activities to engage lecture and laboratory students in discussion, critical thinking, and writing, and implemented an investigative laboratory curriculum in general biology.

JANE B. Her education includes an A. At UC Berkeley, and later as a postdoctoral fellow in genetics at Stanford University, her research focused on genetic recombination in bacteria. Reeces publishing career began in when she joined the editorial staff of Benjamin Cummings, and since then, she played a major role in a number of successful textbooks. NEIL A. Over his 30 years of teaching introductory biology to both science majors and nonscience majors, many thousands of students had the opportunity to learn from him and be stimulated by his enthusiasm for the study of life.

He is greatly missed by his many friends in the biology community. His coauthors remain inspired by his visionary dedication to education and are committed to searching for ever better ways to engage students in the wonders of biology. Access Code Card. We're sorry!

Learn about this Digital Update in Features below. Preface Preface is available for download in PDF format. Students read an article, and BIAS Test questions guide them in assessing the source regarding the articles authority, motivation and reliability.

These are assignable in Mastering Biology. NEW - Access reading analytics. Use the dashboard to gain insight into how students are working in their eText to plan more effective instruction in and out of class. Customize and schedule readings. Rearrange the Pearson eText table of contents at both the chapter and section level to match the way you teach. Add due dates so that students know exactly what to read to come to class prepared. Engage learners with compelling media.

Videos and animations bring key concepts to life, helping students place what they are reading into context. NEW - Content for the digital update includes a new discussion of the relationship between sex and gender, new information on polygenic inheritance, updates on COVID, and more.

Hallmark features of Essential Biology Provide students with the opportunity to develop scientific literacy skills Process of Science essays present the material in a non-linear and highly visual format, aligning with widely accepted models of how science actually works. Ch What Killed the Pines? Chapter 1 focuses on science literacy skills to introduce students to the process of science right from the start.

Visualizing the Data figures illustrate data in an infographic format and provide students with a fresh approach to understanding concepts.

These 14 figures appear throughout the text with icons flagging where they appear. Guide students through complex biological processes with engaging visuals Why It Matters photo collages have been updated to increase student curiosity about biology and give students real-world examples to convey why abstract concepts like cell respiration or photosynthesis matter.

The authors have made improvements and updates based on reviewer feedback. Introduced in Chapter 1, themes appear throughout the text with icons flagging headings where they appear. Assessment questions reinforce the five major biological themes, are located at the end of each chapter, and are assignable in Mastering Biology.

Evolution Connection essays further explore a consistent evolution theme in depth in each chapter. Interpreting Data end-of-chapter questions help students learn to use quantitative material by analyzing graphs and interacting with other data. Interpreting Data activities in Mastering Biology help students continue to practice their graph-analysis skills. Hallmark features of Mastering Biology Teach your course your way Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules, created by and for instructors, make use of teaching tools for before, during, and after class, including new ideas for in-class activities.

The modules incorporate the best that the text, Mastering Biology, and Learning Catalytics have to offer and can be accessed through the Instructor Resources area of Mastering. Learn more here. Dynamic Study Modules are assignable modules that pose a series of question sets about a course topic. Questions adapt to each students performance and offer personalized, targeted feedback to help them master key concepts.

Available for select titles. New MasteringBiology activities engage students outside of the classroom and help students develop scientific literacy skills. MasteringBiology is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product that improves results by helping students quickly master concepts. Students benefit from self-paced tutorials that feature immediate wrong-answer feedback and hints that emulate the office-hour experience to help keep students on track.

With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, many of them contributed by Essential Biology authors, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts. NOTE: Chapters are included in a different version of the text that covers plant and animal physiology.
