product title: Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections, Global Edition, 10th edition

For non-majors or mixed biology courses.

Campbell Biology: Concepts and Connections continues to introduce pedagogical developments that create an innovative learning experience and motivate students not only to learn, but also interact with biology. The modular organisation built around central concepts helps students stay focused while engaging them in connecting biology with the world outside the classroom.

Building on the text's outstanding art and features, the 10th Edition delivers new digital resources that guide students to success in the course. This edition draws from learning science as well as the authors' classroom experience to provide tools that address how students learn today. New Chapter Openers help students retain information, selected features break content into bite-size sub-sections, and additional author-created videos ensure students focus on what is important.

New to this edition

• 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.
• Help students connect biology concepts
• 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.
• Cellular respiration in Chapter 6 (How Cells Harvest Chemical Energy) has been re-written and reorganised to make it easier to teach the content at varying levels of depth.
• Chapter 9 (Patterns of Inheritance) presents human sex determination as a much more complex and varied process and outcome, rather than describing sex determination as a binary state.
