Neil Campbell and Jane Reece's BIOLOGY remains unsurpassed as the most successful majors biology textbook in the world. This text has invited more than 4 million students into the study of this dynamic and essential discipline.The authors have restructured each chapter around a conceptual framework of five or six big ideas. An Overview draws students in and sets the stage for the rest of the chapter, each numbered Concept Head announces the beginning of a new concept, and Concept Check questions at the end of each chapter encourage students to assess their mastery of a given concept. New Inquiry Figures focus students on the experimental process, and new Research Method Figures illustrate important techniques in biology. Each chapter ends with a Scientific Inquiry Question that asks students to apply scientific investigation skills to the content of the chapter.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Neil A. Campbell combined the investigative nature of a research scientist with the soul of an experienced and caring teacher. He earned his M.A. in Zoology from UCLA and his Ph.D. in Plant Biology from the University of California, Riverside, where he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2001. Dr. Campbell published numerous research articles on how certain desert plants thrive in salty soil and how sensitive plant (Mimosa) and other legumes move their leaves. His 30 years of teaching in diverse environments included general biology courses at Cornell University, Pomona College, and San Bernardino Valley College, where he received the college's first Outstanding Professor Award in 1986. Most recently Dr. Campbell was a visiting scholar in the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at the University of California, Riverside. In addition to his authorship of this book, he coauthored Biology: Concepts & Connections and Essential Biology with Jane Reece. Each year, over 600,000 students worldwide use Campbell/Reece biology textbooks.

Jane B. Reece has worked in biology publishing since 1978, when she joined the editorial staff of Benjamin Cummings. Her education includes an A.B. in Biology from Harvard University, an M.S. in Microbiology from Rutgers University, and a Ph.D. in Bacteriology from the University of California, Berkeley. At UC Berkeley and later as a post-doctoral fellow in genetics at Stanford University, her research focused on genetic recombination in bacteria. Dr. Reece taught biology at Middlesex County College (New Jersey) and Queensborough Community College (New York). As an editor at Benjamin Cummings, Dr. Reece played major roles in a number of successful textbooks. In addition to being a coauthor with Neil Campbell on BIOLOGY, Biology: Concepts & Connections, and Essential Biology, she coauthored The World of the Cell, Third Edition, with W.M. Becker and M.F. Poenie.

I tutor AP bio and after years of downloading the PDF version, I gave in and just bought the hardcover one. It's a great book! Really college-level in its detail (I went to med school and this is almost as detailed as that level of text). It's got beautiful photos and charts as well. And anyone worried about the editions – there really have not been major changes in most of the sections. Buying this earlier edition saves hundreds of dollars over the newest ones and it still does have sufficient accurate detail to keep up with modern biology.

I bought this as a substitute for the next volume. My professor never even knew I was using the wrong book. It was 99.9% exactly the same. Buy the older volume it'll save you a fortune.

Great source Information and illustrations

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is a brief introduction to the subject of Biology. Very dense with information meaning that you as the reader learn the most by drawing out the important information and skiming through the non important stuff. This also serves a a good reference tool for when you don't quite remember the information that you need at that particular time. Also, the illustrations really help with the concepts that the author is trying to express. I've found that with a particularly difficuly concept it was the illustrations that drove hope the point. I would recommend this text for those that are disciplined and truly motivated to learn the basics of Biology.

All in all, a great beginner's guide to the subject.

i love this book i used it senior year in my AP biology course and this semester the Biology course that im taking has the absolute worst textbook assigned and i remembered how helpful and detailed this textbook was with learning everything and the great examples used for describing everything was always done in simple ways which is what makes all of this so much easier. the only bad thing about this book that i could say is that get ready to carry it around with you like its your child bc its really heavy but well worth it in the end

Great book

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2011

Verified Purchase

I love this book! I used it in my freshman year of undergraduate and I am one of those students that love being taught as if I were a 5 year old. I mean, this book doesn't treat you as a 5 year old exactly, but if I can learn from this book then anybody can. The explanations are not for smart people and it's like learning with training wheels, but its explanations are also deep which gives you great information.

I am studying for the MCATs and some of the review books are just plain awful. I have to revert back to this Campbell's Biology book frequently to re-understand what is happening. It explains things much better because it treats you like a child, which is my forte of learning.

I absolutely love this textbook, I'm writing this in the year 2015 as a biology major a in a modern genetics class that uses a book printed in 2013 as well as a biochemistry class with a book from 2014 and I'm here to tell you that there is literally NOTHING that the Campbell's biology 7th edition is missing that is in the newer, more expensive versions. This book provides material covered in a variety of biology classes, it's an excellent introductory biology book for science majors and non science majors alike.

The Ur-Text for General Biology

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2007

Verified Purchase

This is the Ur-text for general Biology. Very very detailed but extremely well written. Escpecially detailed at the molecular level (as opposed to say, ecology.)The best parts of the book are the illustrations. I have read many textbooks and none come even close to the usefullness of these illustrations. Most people could get all the Biology they need by simply studying the illustrations and their explanations. They are incredibly informative.
If you have the time this is the book. If you just need a general overvwiew you may find this book overwhelming.

$16 for a used book that's originally $100+ is an amazing deal. It's a bit worn but that just makes it look like I've studied off of it for a long time :) There is a LOT of information and I prefer using this as a reference book instead of a read-every-night-after-class textbook.
