Essential Biology is a brief non-majors biology textbook that combines clear writing, real-world applications, vivid art, and powerful media to teach students the important concepts of biology and give them an appreciation for how biology relates to their everyday lives. The book covers four major biological topics - cells, genetics, evolution/diversity, and ecology - and uses evolution as an overarching theme to tie all 20 chapters together. In the Second Edition, best-selling authors Neil Campbell and Jane Reece are joined by Eric Simon, who uses his experience teaching non-majors biology to keep the text both accessible and up to date. To help students become informed citizens, the new edition features even more human applications and up-to-date information on important issues like DNA technology, cloning, and global warming. New Biology and Society essays at the beginning of each chapter hook students' attention, and new visual summaries at the end of each chapter help students reinforce their understanding of key concepts.
