About the Book

Features in the textbook and Mastering Biology work together, creating a seamless learning suite to support student learning. Key concepts in the text are reinforced through assignments in Mastering Biology, bringing learning full circle for students.

Provide students with the opportunity to develop scientific literacy skills

• UPDATED! 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 13: Did Natural Selection Shape the Beaks of Darwin's Finches?
  Ch 14: Do Human Activities Facilitate Speciation?
  Ch 16: What Killed the Pines?
  Ch 20: Does Biodiversity Protect Human Health?
