Concepts in Biology is a relatively brief introductory general biology text written for students with no previous science background. The text covers all the main areas of study in biology from cells through ecosystems. Evolution and ecology coverage are combined in Part Four to emphasize the relationship between these two main subject areas.
Salient Features:
Chapter dedicated to coverage of biotechnology.
Concepts in Biology is organized with physiological processes appearing as the last major part of the text. Evolution and ecology coverage appear in the same unit, unlike most texts that have evolution in the first 1/3 of the text and ecology at the end.
