Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections

by Martha Taylor, Eric Simon, Jean L. Dickey

Intended for non-majors or mixed biology courses.
A conceptual framework for understanding the world of biology Campbell Concepts & Connections continues to introduce pedagogical innovations, which motivate students not only to learn, but also engage with biology. This bestselling textbook is designed to help students stay focused with its hallmark modular organization around central concepts and engages students in connections between concepts and the world outside of the classroom with Scientific Thinking, Evolution Connection and Connection essays in every chapter. The 9th Edition offers students a framework organized around fundamental biological themes and encourages them to analyze visual representations of data with new Visualizing the Data figures. A reorganized Chapter One emphasizes the process of science and scientific reasoning, and robust instructor resources and multimedia allow students to engage with biological concepts in a memorable way. Unparalleled resources let instructors develop active and high interest lectures with ease.
The book and Mastering ™ Biology work together to help students practice making these connections throughout their text.
Also available with Mastering Biology or as an easy-to-use, standalone Pearson eText
Mastering Biology is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to improve results by helping students quickly master concepts.

Not my favorite intro to bio book. Descriptions and ideas lack the complexity I was looking for. Good for high schoolers, not for undergrads.

[Tamara Eaker · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really like this textbooks layout and diagrams. It was a skillfully put together project. It also helps that I got it for free ;)

[크리스티 (Kristy) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Required reading for school...good book I enjoyed the sections that were assigned.

Read for Biol 1001. Should have used quizlet more than I did. Only got through the first 9 chapters in class.

This book may help me to increase my biology knowledge

ok

did not read all but it definitely took a huge chunk of my time

[Nicolle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked it- it did good job at breaking down complex topics and relating them to real world scenarios.

haha..its finaLs na, and of course im reading my biology book. :) though quite obsolete (i think they're already at 7th edition?) i still get to read it like everyday..ahehe..go nah.
i wouldnt recommend u to read this edition since ive read the 4th and 5th editions, and so many changes have been made already, since science is so dynamic..!
reading the book,and the topics related to my majors now..ive learned about the physiological activities of the plant and animal cells; membrane polarization; evolutionary origin of the human species; the different kinds of transport in the organelles of the cell; life cycles of so many pLants, and much more..! -nosebLeed!ahehe

The material this book covers is fascinating! Cells, Biology, Chemistry, Molecules- I LOVE it! I think I'm a science geek. That would explain my severe love of microscopes..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to school! I find I understand the material much better if:
1) I hear the info in lecture first and
2) I am walking and reading the material aloud to myself

I'm one of those kinesthetic learners. I'm setting up an elliptical machine in my house with a book stand so I can study at home and keep moving. If I keep this up I'll be a super model by the time I graduate haha

Throughout the year I had to read almost this whole textbook. And it was painful, so of course I'm going to add it to my read list.

Some topics that are very complex were skipped over and simplified like crazy which didn't give me a very good understanding at all. Other topics that are fairly simple get a full two pages (their max for any one concept) when they hardly needed it. I did like how there were plenty of pictures and diagrams about the concepts they discussed.

[Catalyst · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still learning from this book. Tonight I learned about isotopes, ionic bonds and the attraction of negatively charged oxygen to positively charged hydrogen. Yeah, that's chemistry, but it's only one chapter, and apparantly it is necessary to the study of biology.

[Fudz · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ini juga buku penuntun wajib buat mahasiswa Biologi, Apalagi yang baru masuk kuliah!
DEngan ilustrasinya yang banyak, belajar biologi akan sangat menarik dengan buku ini.
Konse-konsep yang di jelaskan juga mudah dipahami.

[#ReadAllTheBooks · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was an ok book. Everything was outlined well enough, although some points could have used a bit more explanation & the definitions seemed a little clunky to memorize. Still, it was an invaluable learning tool in my biology class.

[Kat]

for my education...

[Tyas · Rating 5 out of 5]

A highly recommended, updated, user-friendly, biology textbook for non-majors. Our high school currently uses this book.
