| The Sixth Edition of BIOLOGY by Neil Campbell and Jane Reece builds upon the earlier versions' dual goals to both help readers develop a conceptual appreciation of life within the context of integrating themes, and to inspire readers to develop more positive and realistic impressions of science as a human activity. <P>The authors have thoroughly updated each of the book's eight units to reflect the existing progress in our understanding of life at its many levels, from molecules to ecosystems. Examples of updated content include the Human Genome Project, the revolution in systematics, HIV as a research model in evolutionary biology, the role of cell-signaling pathways in plant responses, new frontiers in neurobiology, and experimental approaches that are advancing ecology. To assure accurate representation of each field of biology, a team of stellar specialists has worked with the authors in updating every unit. <P>An innovative design breakthrough ensures that the art is as current as the content. Guided Tour diagrams explicitly guide readers through the more challenging figures, succinctly explaining key structures, functions, and steps of processes within the figure, reducing the need to look back and forth between legend and art. It's as if an instructor were looking over the reader's shoulder and clarifying each part of a figure! Guided Tour commentary is set in blue, making it easy to differentiate these explanations from ordinary labels and keeping the figure itself clear and uncluttered. For college instructors and students. Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

I love my textbook. I am in high school and as a sophomore last year, I took this class. It was hard, insanely hard. But, this book explained it so well, and i knew the book page by page, it helped me and 50% of my classmates get a 5 on their AP Exam. It was an amazing book. Even after you are done with the class, you can still go back and refer to this book. I would recommend to anyone and everyone!

i ordered it from the new section and the book, when i received it, had some pages highlighted and the cd that came with the book was already opened.

fast delivery was great, but misleading with the amount of cover damage and highlighted text--in worse shape than i understood.

I used the 5th edition of this book, but I've seen the 6th edition, and think the improvements (especially in terms of the diagrams and additions to the accompanying CD) are worth the upgrade.
This is an excellent resource for anyone interested in biology. It's the gold standard for a reason. Clear writing, excellent diagrams and pictures, and with an appropriate amount of depth for a college intro-biology course or for AP Bio.
Don't forget to use the CD as a resource, since it makes complicated processes like the Krebs cycle a lot easier to understand. An animation is worth a thousand pictures.

This book is for a college course, but it has been a terrific read! We have made so many discoveries in science in the 20+ years I've been out of school that it is fascinating just to look at the pictures. It also comes with access to online learning. I may keep it so my high school son can get a head start on his science classes!
