Summary

BIOLOGYis an authoritative majors textbook focusing on evolution as a unifying theme. Volume I covers Chemistry, Cell Biology, and Genetics; Volume II covers Plant and Animal Biology; and Volume III covers Evolution, Diversity, and Ecology. BIOLOGYis distinguished from other texts by its strong emphasis on natural selection and the evolutionary process that explains biodiversity.

That same modern perspective was brought into the completely new art program offering readers a dynamic, realistic, and accurate, visual program.
