Campbell Biology Australian Version 9th Ed Reece Meyers.
Over eight successful editions, Campbell Biology has been recognised as the world’s leading introductory biology textbook. Campbell Biology continues to engage students with its dynamic coverage of the essential elements of this critical discipline. The ninth edition, with an increased focus on evolution, ensures students receive the most up-to-date, accurate and relevant information. It is the only biology text and media product that helps students to make connections across different core topics in biology, between text and visuals, between global and Australian biology, and from scientific study to the real world.
The text is supplemented by MasteringBiology, the most widely used tutorial and assessment system for biology students.
New to this Edition
In addition to Key Concepts and themes, we’ve created new features for the Ninth Edition that help students see the big picture by making connections.
New Make Connections Questions help students see how different areas of biology tie together, helping them overcome the tendency to compartmentalise information. Each question challenges students to move beyond memorisation and gain a deeper understanding of biological principles by asking them to relate chapter content to material they learned earlier in the course.
Making connections to advances in science. As in each new edition, the Ninth Edition incorporates new scientific content and organisational improvements. These are summarised on pp. x–xi, following the Preface.
New Impact Figures: Making connections between scientific advances and the real world
Our new Impact Figures motivate students by highlighting the dramatic impact of recent discoveries in biology. These figures feature high-interest topics such as induced pluripotent stem cells and regenerative medicine, the discovery of Tiktaalik, and the use of forensic ecology to track elephant poaching. The Why It Matters section of each figure explains the relevance of the research to students’ lives, global problems, or the field of biology itself. Each Impact Figure ends with a suggestion for Further Reading and a What If ? or Make Connections Question to develop critical thinking skills.
New Visual Organisers and 3-D Art: Making connections visually
The new Visual Organiser format highlights the main parts of a figure, helping students see the key categories at a glance. Throughout the book, selected figures have been rendered in a more 3-D art style while keeping an appropriate balance between realism and teaching effectiveness.
Restructured Chapter Reviews: Making connections at a higher level
In the chapter summaries, each concept section now concludes with a new Summary of Key Concepts Question that is tied to a major learning goal. Also, this edition increases student awareness of different levels of thinking by organising the endof- chapter questions into three levels based on Bloom’s taxonomy, which classifies types of thinking that are important in learning. Our levels are (1) Knowledge/Comprehension, (2) Application/Analysis, and (3) Synthesis/Evaluation. (These same levels are used in the Campbell Biology Test Bank). The range of question types helps students develop critical thinking skills and prepare for the kinds of questions they’ll encounter on exams.
New Write About a Theme Questions give students practice writing short, coherent essays that connect the chapter’s content to one of the book’s themes. (A suggested grading rubric can be found on p. xvii, and sample answers are provided for instructors in the MasteringBiology Instructor Resources area). A new MasteringBiology preview section at the end of each chapter lists Assignments - tutorials, activities, and questions that instructors can assign. This section also directs students to the eText and Study Area for online self study.
BioFlix® icons direct you to high-impact 3-D animations in the Study Area at www.pearson.com.au.masteringbiology.
New Summary of Key Concepts Questions appear at the end of each concept summary. Students can check their answers using Appendix A.
Each chapter now ends with a preview of the MasteringBiology® resources that can help students succeed in the course.
