Key Benefit:
The Tenth Edition of the best-selling book Campbell BIOLOGY helps launch readers to success in biology through its clear and engaging narrative, superior pedagogy, and innovative use of art and photos to promote reader learning.
The Tenth Edition helps readers develop a deeper understanding of biology by making connections visually across chapters and building the scientific skills needed for success in upper-level courses.
NewMake Connections Figures pull together content from different chapters visually, helping readers see "big picture" relationships.
New Scientific Skills Exercises in every chapter use real data to build key skills needed for biology, including data analysis, graphing, experimental design, and math skills.
New examples show readers how our ability to sequence DNA and proteins rapidly and inexpensively is transforming every subfield of biology.
A wide variety of new assignment options in MasteringBiology (R), the most widely used online homework, tutorial, and assessment program for biology, help students strengthen their understanding of biology and practice science skills.
