Essential Biology

* Neil Campbells hallmark writing style that speaks directly to the student is evident throughout the text. * An Evolution Connection at the end of each chapter ties the material back to evolution as the overarching theme in biology. * The text provides more explanation with less detail. * New art with more vibrant colors is easier to see in classroom presentations. * A fully integrated and robust media package accompanies the text. Descriptions in the text refer students to approximately 200 interactive media activities, 660 quiz questions, approximately 2000 additional quiz questions on The Essential Biology Place Web site, and hundreds of web links. * A completely revised version of The Biology Place Web site, called The Essential Biology Place, accompanies the text. All of the material on the Web site is also contained on a CD-ROM packaged free with each student copy of the text. * CheckPoint questions throughout each chapter help students assess what theyve learned as they read.
