Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections 9th Edition (2017) (PDF) by Martha Taylor

Description

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.

Mastering Biology is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to improve results by helping students quickly master concepts. Students benefit from self-paced activities that feature personalized wrong-answer feedback to emulate the office-hour experience and help keep students on track. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, many of them created by the Campbell Biology: Concepts and Connections authors, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts. New Mastering Biology activities for this edition include “Key Topic Overview” videos that help students efficiently review key topics outside of class, “Evaluating Science in the Media” activities that help students to build science literacy skills, and more “Visualizing the Concept” animated videos help students further visualize and understand complex biological processes.

earned her B.A. in biology from Gettysburg College and her M.S. and Ph.D.
in science education from Cornell University. At Cornell, Dr. Taylor has
served as assistant director of the Office of Instructional Support and has
taught introductory biology for both majors and nonmajors. Most recently,
she was a lecturer in the Learning Strategies Center, teaching supplemental
biology courses. Her experience working with students in classrooms, in
laboratories, and with tutorials has increased her commitment to helping
students create their own knowledge of and appreciation for biology. She
was the author of the Student Study Guide for ten editions of Campbell
Biology. Eric J. Simon is a professor in the Department of Biology and
Health Science at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire. He
teaches introductory biology to science majors and nonscience majors, as
well as upper-level courses in tropical marine biology and careers in
science. Dr. Simon received a B.A. in biology and computer science and an
M.A. in biology from Wesleyan University, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from
Harvard University. His research focuses on innovative ways to use
technology to improve teaching and learning in the science classroom. Dr.
Simon also leads numerous international student field research trips and is
a Scientific Advisor to the Elephant Conservation Center in Sayaboury,
Laos. Dr. Simon is the lead author of the introductory nonmajors biology
textbooks Campbell Essential Biology, Sixth Edition, and Campbell Essential
Biology with Physiology, Fifth Edition, and the author of the introductory
biology textbook Biology: The Core, Second Edition. Jean L. Dickey is
Professor Emerita of Biological Sciences at Clemson University (Clemson,

biology at Middlesex County College (New Jersey) and Queensborough
Community College (New York). During her 12 years as an editor at Benjamin
Cummings, she played a major role in a number of successful textbooks. She
is coauthor of Campbell Biology, Eleventh Edition, Campbell Biology in
Focus, Second Edition, Campbell Essential Biology, Sixth Edition, and
Campbell Essential Biology with Physiology, Fifth Edition. Neil A.
Campbell (1946―2004) combined the inquiring nature of a research scientist
with the soul of a caring teacher. Over his 30 years of teaching
introductory biology to both science majors and nonscience majors, many
thousands of students had the opportunity to learn from him and be
stimulated by his enthusiasm for the study of life. While he is greatly
missed by his many friends in the biology community, his coauthors remain
inspired by his visionary dedication to education and are committed to
searching for ever better ways to engage students in the wonders of biology

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ I purchased this book “new” for 209$ with taxes and it literally did NOT
come with an access code… What a waste. Like how yall gunna play me like
that. So i went to my school and bought a loose leaf for 137$ with an
access code.

⭐ This book is very advanced. Images and explanations are great and detail
is great but it is definitely full of information. My only problem is that
I bought the etext to read when I don’t have my book with me and some pages
have not loaded. I’m not sure where the problem would be or how to fix it
or who to ask for help. A few pages just have an unlabeled picture. It’s
unfortunate.

⭐ it didn’t come with the activation code

⭐ I never used it and can’t resell it for the life of me. Don’t buy the
books here!!!Also, review the classes and professors online to see if you
really need the book. Sometimes it’s just for reading material, and if you
rely on in class notes more than reading, then you don’t need this.

⭐ I splurged and bought a brand new text book rather than buying a used one
because I wanted access to the online content. But no where in the book
does it give it out. I’m very frustrated. My professor highly recommends
using the online content and now I’d have to spend another 63 dollars to
get this?

⭐ I really like this amazing idea for renting I got this book for my
daughter College needs … absolutely amazing idea ,,,,Buying books it’s so
expensive ….

⭐ Love this book. Received it in hardcover edition and it came very quick
(very thankful for Prime!). I’m using this for a non-majors college intro
bio class and it’s proving so far to be very helpful to support the lecture
topics.

⭐ wonderful! thanks.

⭐ This rental was pretty affordable. I rented for 16 weeks and it was only
around $45 with taxes. It was worth it because it was cheaper than
purchasing the book.

⭐ Item as described and served its purpose. Other used books were going for
$40+ more! Great deal!
