The Science of Biology

THE NEXT GREAT CHAPTER IN THE STORY OF LIFE Visit the Life, 9e preview site at www.whfreeman.com/life9epreview The science of biology evolves. The science classroom and lab evolve. In this edition, as always, Life: The Science of Biology evolves with them, in innovative, authoritative, and captivating ways. From the first edition to the present, Life has set the standard for being the most balanced experimentally-based introductory biology text. Life has always presented how we know (the process of science through experiments) as well as what we know (facts derived from these experiments). The new edition builds on this legacy, again teaching fundamental concepts and the latest developments by taking students step by step through the research that revealed them. To achieve this, all of the Ninth Edition’s innovations—new authorship, new and reororganized chapters, new experimental content, enhanced features, reinvisioned art, and new media tools—are focused on giving students and instructors the best tools for bringing the best of biological research and applications into the introductory majors biology course. Also available, Volume Splits:—paperbound in full color! Volume I: The Cell and Heredity (Chapters 1-20) Volume II: Evolution, Diversity and Ecology (Chapters 1, 21-33, 54-59) Volume III: Plants and Animals (Chapters 1, 34-53) A GREENER LIFE Another first, the new edition of Life is printed on paper earning the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label, the “gold standard” in green paper products.

From its first edition, Life has set the standard for experiment-based introductory biology texts. There is no stronger textbook for helping students understand not just what we know (scientific facts), but how we know it (the experimental process that leads to their discovery). The new edition of Life builds upon this tradition, teaching fundamental concepts and showcasing significant research while responding to changes in biology education... • PEDAGOGICALLY, with features that match the way students learn today, including chapter opening stories, art with balloon captions, and new Learning Objectives • SCIENTIFICALLY, with a wealth of important new research throughout (see Table of Contents for highlights) • TECHNOLOGICALLY, with instant access QR codes printed in the text, new interactive features (media clips, chapter summaries, a flashcard app), and a dramatically enhanced BioPortal, with the adaptive quizzing system, LearningCurve • QUANTIFIABLY, with completely revised assessment resources and new ways of measuring students' progress Also avalable, Volume Splits:—paperbound in full color! Volume 1: The Cell and Heredity (Chapters 1-20) Volume 2: Evolution, Diversity, and Ecology (Chapters 1, 21-33, 54-59) Volume 3: Plants and Animals (Chapters 1, 34-53)
