To reinforce these connections, this edition of Campbell Essential Biology with Physiology includes new end-of-chapter questions and Mastering Biology activities that promote critical thinking relating to these themes.
Accordingly, every chapter begins with an improved feature called Why It Matters showing the relevance of the chapter content from the very start.
Additionally, with every edition, we introduce some new unifying chapter threads intended to improve student relevance. For example, this edition includes new threads that discuss evolution in a human-dominated world Chapter 14 and the importance of biodiversity to human affairs Chapter Developing data literacy through infographics.
Many nonscience-major students express anxiety when faced with numerical data, yet the ability to interpret data can help with many important decisions we all face. Increasingly, the general public encounters information in the form of infographics, visual images used to represent data.
Consistent with our goal of preparing students to approach important issues critically, this edition includes a series of new infographics, or Visualizing the Data figures. Examples include the elemental composition of the human body Chapter 2 , a comparison of calories burned through exercise versus calories consumed in common foods Chapter 5 , and ecological footprints Chapter In addition to the printed form, these infographics are available as an interactive feature in the eText and as assignable tutorial questions within Mastering Biology.
Helping students to understand key figures. For this new edition, a key figure in each chapter is supplemented by a short video explaining the concept to the student. These Figure Walkthrough videos will be embedded in the eText and will be assignable in Mastering Biology. The animations are written and narrated by authors Eric Simon and Jean Dickey, as well as teacher and contributor Rebecca Burton.
Attitudes about science and scientists are often shaped by a single, required science class— this class. We hope to nurture an appreciation of nature into a genuine love of biology. In this spirit, we hope that this textbook and its supplements will encourage all readers to make biological perspectives a part of their personal worldviews. Please let us know how we are doing and how we can improve the next edition of — Campbell Essential Biology with Physiology.
