Author Description

Biology is in a enormous subject, one that can seem overwhelming to students and scientists alike. Moreover, discoveries are being made at an unprecedented pace – from new kinds of small RNA modules to the Neanderthal genome, from new biofuels to communities of organisms thriving beneath vast glaciers, from emerging infectious disease is to cancer vaccines.As a result, a general biology course faces a daunting challenge: to keep students from suffocating under an avalanche of information. Campbell Biology addresses this challenge by providing a strong foundation for understanding both current knowledge and new developments in the context of underlying biological concepts.
