Second, an essay called The Process of Science in the body of the chapter describes how the scientific process has illuminated the topic at hand, using a classic or modern experiment as an example.
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:. Pearson eText allows educators to easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their reading and what they learn in class—motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning. Portable access lets students study on the go, even offline. And, reading analytics offer insight into how students use the eText, helping educators tailor their instruction. Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; Mastering Biology and Pearson eText do not come packaged with this content.
Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information. If you would like to purchase both the physical text and Mastering Biology, search for:.
