• Linda R. Berg

  Dr. Linda Berg is an award-winning teacher and textbook author. She received a B.S. in Science Education, an M.S. in Botany, and a Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from the University of Maryland. Her research focused on the evolutionary implications of steroid biosynthetic pathways in various organisms. Dr. Berg taught at the University of Maryland at College Park for 17 years and at St. Petersburg College in Florida for eight years. During her career, she taught introductory courses in Biology, Botany and Environmental Science to thousands of students. At the University of Maryland, she received numerous teaching and service awards. Dr. Berg is also the recipient of many national and regional awards, including the National Science Teachers Association Award for Innovations in College Science Teaching, the Nation's Capital Area Disabled Student Services Award and the Washington Academy of Sciences Award in University Science Teaching. During her career as a professional science writer, Dr. Berg has authored or coauthored several leading college science textbooks. Her writing reflects her teaching style and her love of science.

• Charles Martin

  Dr. Charles Martin is Professor Emeritus of Cell Biology and Neuroscience at Rutgers University. He received his Ph.D. in Genetics from Florida State University and engaged in postdoctoral research in genetics and membrane biology at the University of Texas at Austin. Throughout his career at Rutgers, he has taught General Biology as well as undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in Genetics and Molecular Cell Biology. An award-winning teacher, Dr. Martin was named Professor of the Year in 2011 by the Molecular Biosciences Graduate Student Association. His research on gene regulation of membrane protein enzyme systems in yeast and other fungi illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of the life sciences, and has been published in high-ranking journals and presented in invited lectures at national and international scientific meetings. He has served as an editorial board member of the Journal of Biological Chemistry and as the Chair of the Gordon Research Conference on the Molecular Cell Biology of Lipids. He has also consulted for numerous biotechnology projects and holds patents in the area of genetic engineering. He has been an active member of the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the American Society for Cell Biology and the Genetics Society of America. He continues to be committed to science education and the promotion of citizen science teaching.

• Diana W. Martin

  Dr. Diana Martin is Professor Emeritus and former Director of General Biology, Division of Life Sciences at Rutgers University. Dr. Martin received an M.S. from Florida State University, where she studied the chromosomes of related plant species to understand their evolutionary relationships. She earned a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin, where she studied the genetics of the fruit fly--Drosophila melanogaster--and then conducted postdoctoral research at Princeton University. Dr. Martin taught General Biology and other courses at Rutgers for over 30 years and has been involved in writing textbooks since 1988. She is grateful that her decision to study Biology in college led to a career that allows her to share her excitement about all aspects of the life science.

• The genetics and DNA technology chapters present discussions of the CRISPR gene editing system and CRISPR-mediated gene drive. Coverage of the mechanisms behind CRISPR-mediated gene drive as well as its potential biological and social consequences. These chapters also include expanded discussion of epigenetic control of gene regulation. The DNA technology chapter is updated to illustrate the importance of new genomic methods based on high-speed DNA sequencing methods.

• The cell biology coverage in Chapters 4, 5 and 6 places greater emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of cell research.

• The unit on evolution includes exciting new molecular and fossil finds that are contributing to our understanding of the evolution of humans and our relatives.

• The chapters on diversity of life are updated based on new findings in genetics and evolution. This includes new information on archaea, implications of recent research on the human microbiome and an expanded discussion of antibiotic resistance. The authors emphasize the importance of genetics and evolution in classification and move toward the use of clades, rather than phyla and classes.

• The unit on structure and life processes in animals includes an introduction to the mesentery, which has recently been recognized as an organ. Scientists are exploring the mesentery's role in health and disease. There's also updated or new material on neurotransmitters, cardiovascular disease, immune function, regulation of appetite and energy metabolism, endocrine function, contraception, sexually transmitted infections, transmission of culture in vertebrates and many other topics.

• The updated unit on ecology emphasizes human interdependence with other organisms and the role humans have played in global climate change, the decrease in species diversity and other environmental crises. The content emphasizes solutions--how humans can contribute to the survival of the biosphere.

• "Inquiring About" boxes explore issues relevant to students' lives, providing a forum for discussing topics of current interest in more detail. Hundreds of examples throughout the book demonstrate the connections between the laboratory and real life.

• The text's successful learning system guides students through every chapter and provides them with the learning strategies needed to integrate and demonstrate mastery of biology concepts. Learning objectives begin each section and Checkpoint questions enable students to assess their level of understanding of the material at the end of the section.

• A variety of question types support student learning. "Test Your Understanding" end-of-chapter questions are organized according to Bloom's taxonomy so that students can evaluate their understanding of the material. "Know and Comprehend" multiple-choice questions reinforce important terms and concepts. "Apply and Analyze" questions challenge students to integrate their knowledge. Higher-level "Evaluate and Synthesize" questions encourage students to apply the concepts just learned to new situations or make connections among important concepts.

• Several types of questions tied to Key Point, Key Experiment, Checkpoint and Test Your Understanding features carry special designations to help students think like scientists and apply their knowledge. These Predict; Connect; Visualize; Evolution Link; Interpret Data; and Science, Technology and Society questions emphasize that learning is enhanced by many diverse approaches.
