Textbook Summary

With its 15th Edition, the premier introductory biology textbook has added to its comprehensive study of the field a new approach for learning. Instead of just providing facts for memorization, with this new book you get Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life (15th Edition) solutions to issues raised by the field of study. By tying the lessons to current events via the study of population ecology, the authors make sure that students are not only learning facts but causes and effects.

Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life answers student questions about the smallest building blocks of life on Earth and builds to a full understanding of how biology affects human social behavior from an evolutionary perspective. The text tells the story of life from a single cell to the most complex communities across the world in a way that’s easy to understand.

All of that, plus online exercises, key points cross-referenced across chapters, and more make for an introductory bio text that sets students on a direct path for success in that field and in other life sciences.
