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 />
