Known for its thorough coverage of diversity, ecology, and environmental issues, this comprehensive book engages and challenges readers with integrated, relevant case studies and thought-provoking questions throughout each chapter. The fully revised Biology: Life on Earth with Physiology, Ninth Edition, has the lame friendly writing style appreciated by thousands of students, but with greater emphasis on engaging, real-world applications. New to this edition are ´Case Study Continued´ sections, which connect a chapter?s case study to relevant biological topics covered in the chapter, and ´Have you ever wondered?´ features that respond to commonly asked questions from students. Thoroughly revised illustrations and expanded critical-thinking questions have been added to each chapter, and are supplemented by the powerful new Mastering Biology´ program that helps students make effective use of study time outside of the classroom.
