• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

For non-majors or mixed biology courses.

An innovative learning experience that addresses how studentslearn today

Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections continuesto introduce pedagogical developments that create an innovative learningexperience and motivate students not only to learn, but also interact withbiology. The hallmark modular organization built around central concepts helpsstudents stay focused while engaging them in connecting biology with the worldoutside the classroom.

Building on thetext's outstanding art and hallmark features, the 10th Edition deliversnew digital resources that guide students to success in the course. Thisedition draws from learning science as well as the authors' classroomexperience to provide tools that address how students learn today. New ChapterOpeners help students retain information, selected features break content intobite-size subsections, and additional author-created videos ensure studentsfocus on what is important.

Autorenporträt

Martha R. Taylor has been teaching biology for more than 35 years. She earned her B.A. in biology from Gettysburg Collegeand her M.S. and Ph.D. in science education from Cornell University. At Cornell, Dr. Taylor has served as assistant director of the Office ofInstructional Support and has taught introductory biology for both majors andnonmajors. Most recently, she was a lecturer in the Learning Strategies Center, teaching supplemental biology courses. Her experience working with students inclassrooms, in laboratories, and with tutorials has increased her commitment tohelping students create their own knowledge of and appreciation for biology. She was the author of the Student Study Guide for ten editions of Campbell Biology.

Eric J. Simon is a professor in the Department of Biology and Health Science at New England College in Henniker,New Hampshire. He teaches introductory biology to science majors and non rsity, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry fromHarvard University. His research focuses on innovative ways to use technology to improve teaching and learning in the science classroom. Dr. Simon also leads numerous international student field research trips and is a Scientific Advisor to the Elephant Conservation Center in Sayaboury, Laos. Dr. Simon is the lead author of the introductory non majors biology textbooks Campbell Essential Biology, Seventh Edition, and Campbell Essential Biology with Physiology, SixthEdition, and the author of the introductory biology textbook Biology: The Core,Third Edition.

Jean L. Dickey is Professor Emerita of Biological Sciences at Clemson University (Clemson, South Carolina). After receiving her B.S. in biology from Kent State University, she went on to earn a Ph.D. in ecology and evolution from Purdue University. In 1984, Dr. Dickey joined the faculty at Clemson, where she devoted her career to teaching biologyto nonscience majors in a variety of courses. In addition to creating content-based instructional materials, she developed many activities to engagelecture and laboratory students in discussion, critical thinking, and writing, and implemented an investigative laboratory curriculum in general biology. Dr.Dickey is author of Laboratory Investigations for Biology, Second Edition, andcoauthor of Campbell Essential Biology, Seventh Edition, and Campbell EssentialBiology with Physiology, Sixth Edition.

Kelly Hogan is a faculty member in the Department of Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, teaching introductory biology and genetics. Dr. Hogan teaches hundreds of students at a time, using active-learning methods that incorporate educational technologies both inside and outside of the classroom. She received her B.S. inbiology at the College of New Jersey and her Ph.D. in pathology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Her research interests focus on howlarge classes can be more inclusive through evidence-based teaching methods and technology. As the Director of Instructional Innovation at UNC, she encourages experienced faculty to take advantage of new professional development opportunities and inspires the next generation of innovative faculty. Dr. Hoganis the author of Stem Cells and Cloning, Second Edition, and co-author on Campbell Essential Biology with Physiology, Sixth Edition.

Neil A. Campbell (1946-2004) combined the inquiring nature of a research scientist with the soul of a caring teacher. Over his 30 years of teaching introductory biology to both science majors and nonscience majors, many thousands of students had the opportunity to learn from him and be stimulated by his enthusiasm for the study of life. While he isgreatly missed by his many friends in the biology community, his coauthorsremain inspired by his visionary dedication to education and are committed tosearching for ever better ways to engage students in the wonders of biology.
