Campbell Biology, 11th Edition

What you’ll find inside

Campbell Biology, 11th Edition is a general biology textbook by Lisa A. Urry, Jane B. Reece, Michael L. Cain, Steven A. Wasserman and Peter V. Minorsky. The supplied title page identifies the eleventh edition, with a 2017 copyright. Check the edition number carefully if your class specifies a newer release or a Global Edition.

A broad route through general biology

The contents organize the book into major areas that begin with evolution, biology’s themes and scientific inquiry, then move through the chemistry of life, cell structure and function, and genetics. The middle of the sequence studies the mechanisms and history of evolution alongside bacteria, archaea, protists, plants, fungi and animal diversity. Later units examine plant form and function, animal systems and ecology. This broad span helps readers compare the book with courses that combine molecular, organismal and ecological biology.

The volume uses chapter-level concepts and questions to connect detail with wider biological ideas. Its contents also include inquiry and data-centered material, which gives students signposts for relating observations, evidence and explanations. Use the actual table of contents to confirm coverage for your course; a general biology survey and a specialized genetics, microbiology or anatomy course will not use the same reading plan.

Confirm the exact edition and format

Campbell Biology has distinct edition and format identifiers. Pearson lists an eText SKU separately from print ISBNs, so the identifiers on a book record should be checked against the exact file before adding product data. This listing identifies the supplied file as PDF and does not promise access to separate publisher platforms, videos or homework systems.

Open the four sample images to inspect the page layout, diagrams and text before choosing. Compare the title and 11th-edition label with your syllabus, then browse other biology and life-sciences ebooks or return to the ebook catalog.
