Author Description

Product Description We've taken a close look at Concepts in Biology and have made some major improvements to the ninth edition. We've added a free Essential Study Partner CD-ROM with every book. And when you open Concepts in Biology one of the first things you'll notice is its compelling new look. We've improved the layout and design and added lots of new or revised art. Within the chapters you'll find the trademark of these two authors remains as it has in the past: to provide a straightforward, concise, concepts-oriented text that gets to the heart of biological principles and keeps technical terminology to a minimum. Through each edition, Concepts in Biology has consistently allayed science anxiety by presenting ideas in a succinct, straightforward manner.
