Biology is an authoritative majors textbook focusing on<br />
evolution as a unifying theme. In revising the text, <strong>McGraw</strong>-<br />
<strong>Hill</strong> consulted with numerous users, noted experts and professors in the<br />
field. Biology is distinguished from other texts by its strong emphasis on<br />
natural selection and the evolutionary process that explains biodiversity.<br />
The new 8th edition continues that tradition and advances into modern<br />
biology by featuring the latest in cutting edge content reflective of the<br />
rapid advances in biology. That same modern perspective was brought<br />
into the completely new art program offering readers a dynamic, realistic,<br />
and accurate, visual program.<br />
New to this edition<br />
Dynamic Author Team—This new team is comprised of Jonathan<br />
Losos, Evolutionary Biologist—Harvard University, Ken Mason,<br />
Molecular Biologist—Purdue University, and Susan Singer, Plant<br />
Geneticist—Carleton College, have joined forces to thoroughly revise<br />
the textbook. The new author team successfully modernized the<br />
content, while maintaining the historical context to the subject matter.<br />
Entirely NEW Visual Program! The entire art program was<br />
redone involving a variety of specialists, artists, and medical illustrators<br />
who worked very closely with the author team to provide a phenomenal<br />
visual<br />

Biology combines the talent of four active researchers and<br />
experienced textbook authors to create a comprehensive<br />
modern text featuring an evolutionary focus with an emphasis on<br />
scientific inquiry. Four active researchers, four experienced text authors,<br />
comprehensive and modern approach, evolutionary focus, emphasizes<br />
scientific inquiry, realistic, integrated (3-D) visual program<br />
Features<br />
Evolution—A strong evolutionary approach. It delivers a clear theme<br />
of evolution through natural selection through out each chapter by<br />
use of genomes and proteomes.<br />
Content—Top notch and break through content provides the most<br />
accurate and up-to-date reference book on the market.<br />
Investigative Approach—The author team guides the reader<br />
through how the investigation of living things leads to discoveries<br />
that no one would have imagined. This is emphasized in the Feature<br />
Investigation boxes throughout the text. Each Feature Investigation<br />
highlights important experiments in the various fields of biology and<br />
the relevance to the discoveries.<br />
Art—Instructive visuals. The student can understand what is going<br />
on in the figures/photos without necessarily reading the narrative.<br />
Visual learners will especially benefit from the clear and concise<br />
art/photos. Brand new art, all consistent!<br />
Integrated Scientific method—You get the traditional TOC, but the<br />
benefit of integrated feature investigations throughout the narrative.<br />
Balanced pedagogy—Everything in the book is important and the<br />
student is not overwhelmed by lots of pedagogy.<br />
