Campbell Biology in Focus
暫譯: 聚焦於坎貝爾生物學

針對科學專業的入門生物學課程

專注。練習。參與。

《Campbell Biology in Focus》以單元為單元構建，實現了概念的廣度與深度之間的平衡，幫助學生擺脫死記硬背。精簡的內容使學生能夠優先考慮發展概念理解和在未來課程中應用知識所需的基本生物學內容、概念和科學技能。每個單元都採取精簡材料的方法，以最符合教師和學生的需求，這是基於對全國超過1,000份教學大綱的評估、調查、課程倡議、評論、與數百位生物學教授的討論，以及《Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education》報告。

保持Campbell標誌性的準確性、清晰性和教學創新，第三版在此基礎上進一步幫助學生在各章之間建立聯繫、解釋真實數據並綜合他們的知識。新版本在整體中整合了新的關鍵科學發現，並在Mastering Biology中提供了超過450個視頻和動畫，這些內容也嵌入在新的Pearson電子文本中，以幫助學生主動學習、掌握困難的課程概念，並成功參與他們的學習和評估。

也可與Mastering Biology一起使用

通過將受信任的作者內容與數位工具和靈活的平台相結合，Mastering個性化學習體驗並改善每位學生的學習成果。Mastering Biology專為文本而設計，並與之直接相關，能夠擴展學習，讓學生在課堂外有一個練習、學習和應用的平台。

Lisa A. Urry (Units 1 and 2) is Gibbons Young Professor of Biology at Mills College. After earning a B.A. at Tufts University, she completed her Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Lisa has conducted research on gene expression during embryonic and larval development in sea urchins. Deeply committed to promoting opportunities in science for women and underrepresented minorities, she has taught courses ranging from introductory and developmental biology to a nonmajors course called Evolution for Future President.

Michael L. Cain (Chapter 1 and Units 3, 4, and 7) is an ecologist and evolutionary biologist who is now writing full-time. Michael earned an A.B. from Bowdoin College, an M.Sc. from Brown University, and a Ph.D. from Cornell University. As a faculty member at New Mexico State University, he taught introductory biology, ecology, evolution, botany, and conservation biology. Michael is the author of dozens of scientific papers on topics that include foraging behavior in insects and plants, long-distance seed dispersal, and speciation in crickets. He is also a coauthor of an ecology textbook.

Steven A. Wasserman (Unit 6) is Professor of Biology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He earned an A.B. from Harvard University and a Ph.D. from MIT. Working on the fruit fly Drosophila, Steve has done research on developmental biology, reproduction, and immunity. Having taught genetics, development, and physiology to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students, he now focuses on introductory biology, for which he has been honored with UCSD's Distinguished Teaching Award.

Peter V. Minorsky (Unit 5) is Professor of Biology at Mercy College in New York, where he teaches introductory biology, ecology, and botany. He received his A.B. from Vassar College and his Ph.D. from Cornell University. Peter taught at Kenyon College, Union College, Western Connecticut State University, and Vassar College; he is also the science writer for the journal Plant Physiology. His research interests concern how plants sense environmental change. Peter received the 2008 Award for Teaching Excellence at Mercy College.

Rebecca B. Orr (Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules, eText Media Integration) is Professor of Biology at Collin College in Plano, Texas, where she teaches introductory biology. She earned her B.S. from Texas A&M University and her Ph.D. from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Rebecca has a passion for investigating strategies that result in more effective learning and retention, and she is a certified Team-Based Learning Collaborative Trainer Consultant. She enjoys focusing on the creation of learning opportunities that both engage and challenge students.

Neil A. Campbell (1946--2004) earned his M.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles, and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Riverside. His research focused on desert and coastal plants. Neil's 30 years of teaching included introductory biology courses at Cornell University, Pomona College, and San Bernardino Valley College, where he received the college's first Outstanding Professor Award. He was also a visiting scholar at the University of California, Riverside. Neil was the founding author of Campbell Biology, upon which this book is based.
