With its outstanding text–art integration, flexible organization, and comprehensive coverage of the five major
themes of biology—structure and function, information, energy and matter, interactions, and evolution
connection—Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections is an indispensable introductory text for students.
To organize what is a vast expanse of information, these five core themes of biology are introduced
in Chapter 1 and revisited in every subsequent chapter, providing students with a structured framework.
Starting with the correlation of structure and function (exemplified by how red pandas wrap their bushy
tails around themselves for warmth), proceeding through information, energy and matter, and interactions,
and ending with a discussion on evolution connection (depicted by how red pandas evolved coats to help
them stay camouflaged), this book covers concepts that extend across all areas of biology.
Structured to let instructors rearrange, skip, and assign chapters based on their requirements, this book
can be customized to a variety of courses.
