Title overview

Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections continues to introduce pedagogical developments that create an innovative learning experience and motivate students not only to learn, but also interact with biology. The hallmark modular organization built around central concepts helps students stay focused while engaging them in connecting biology with the world outside the classroom.

Building on the text’s outstanding art and hallmark features, the 10th Edition delivers new digital resources that guide students to success in the course. This edition draws from learning science as well as the authors’ classroom experience to provide tools that address how students learn today. New Chapter Openers help students retain information, selected features break content into bite-size subsections, and additional author-created videos ensure students focus on what is important.
