Product Description

Product Description

With Biology , Sixth Edition, authors Neil Campbell and Jane Reece have once again crafted a synthesis of modern biology that you and your students can depend on for clear explanations, innovative illustrations, and scientific accuracy. Here are just a few of the improvements that make the most widely-adopted science textbook better than ever.



About the Author

Neil A. Campbell has taught general biology for 30 years, and with Dr. Reece, has coauthored Biology, Sixth Edition, the most widely used text for biology majors. His enthusiasm for sharing the fun of science with students stems from his own undergraduate experience. He began at Long Beach State College as a history major, but switched to zoology after general education requirements "forced" him to take a science course. Following a B.S. from Long Beach, he earned an M.A. in Zoology from UCLA and a Ph.D. in Plant Biology from the University of California, Riverside.

He has published numerous articles on how certain desert plants thrive in salty soil and how sensitive plant (Mimosa) and other legumes move their leaves. His diverse teaching experiences include courses for non-biology majors at Cornell University, Pomona College, and San Bernardino Valley College, where he received the first Outstanding Professor Award in the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at UC Riverside, which recognized him as the university's Distinguished Alumnus for 2001. In addition to Biology, Sixth Edition, he is coauthor of Essential Biology.

Jane B. Reece has worked in biology publishing since 1978, when she joined the editorial staff of Benjamin Cummings. Her education includes an A.B. in Biology from Harvard University, an M.S. in Microbiology from Rutgers University, and a Ph.D. in Bacteriology from the University of California, Berkeley. At UC Berkeley and later as a post-doctoral fellow in genetics at Stanford University, her research focused on genetic recombination in bacteria. Dr. Reece taught 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 major roles in a number of successful textbooks. Subsequently, she was a coauthor of The World of the Cell, Third Edition, with W. M. Becker and M. F. Poenie. With Dr. Campbell, she coauthors Biology, Sixth Edition, and Essential Biology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, 12 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Biology (Hardcover)
This is the best textbook I've ever seen. I'm not even a biology student and I love it. Although it is fairly basic, it is rigourous enough that several courses may be taught from it alone. I await the rumoured 5th edition with baited breath...

Campbell's 4th edition Biology is a book that broadens knowledge of biology with illustrations that helps us understand biology. It also underlines key concepts throughout the book, recommended to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the greatest textbook that I have ever seen!, 23 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Biology (Hardcover)
I have used dozens of textbooks in life, and this is without the best. Everyone that I have ever talked to about this book loves it. Cambell weds clear text with good diagrams to effictively explain difficult concepts. Cambell's use of key themes to unite what appears to unrelated data provides a strong conceptual backbone. This book is without doubt the premier biology survey course.
