BIOLOGY (ISE)

The author team of Biology is committed to continually improving the text, keeping the student and learning foremost. The integrated pedagogical features expand the student's learning process and enhance their learning experience. Biology has a clear, accessible, and engaging writing style with a solid framework of pedagogy that highlights an emphasis on evolution and scientific inquiry that have made this a leading textbook for students majoring in biology. An emphasis on the organizing power of evolution is combined with an integration of the importance of cellular, molecular biology and genomics.
