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.

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

Focus students on key concepts

• NEW - Chapter Openers invite students into each chapter with a brief story that sets the stage for the chapter, a summary of the big ideas to be covered in the chapter, and three pre-test questions that follow Bloom's hierarchy from simple to complex.
• Visualizing the Concept Modules visually walk students through key topics in each chapter. Videos accompanying a select set of Visualizing the Concept modules are assignable in Mastering Biology.
• A flexible modular format organized around central concepts paces student learning into manageable chunks and allows your syllabus to drive the course.
• Numbered Central Concept Headings at the beginning of each module help students stay focused as they study.
• End-of-module Concept Check questions allow students to self-check their understanding along the way.
• The Big Ideas at the start of each chapter serve as a roadmap to students by highlighting the overarching set of concepts that each chapter is built upon.
• Try This activities are active learning prompts that coach students to interact with the figures in their text to build understanding. Questions in Learning Catalytics allow instructors to turn these into in-class activities.

Help students connect biology concepts

• NEW - Figure Walkthroughs guide students to a deeper understanding and feature key figures with narrated explanations, figure markups, and questions that reinforce important points and incorporate higher-level Bloom’s questions. The Figure Walkthroughs are assignable in the Mastering Biology Item Library.
• NEW - Cellular respiration in Chapter 6 (How Cells Harvest Chemical Energy) has been re-written and reorganized to make it easier to teach the
