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.

The nervous system is the part of an animal's body that coordinates its voluntary and involuntary actions and transmits signals to and from different The nervous system is the part of an animal's body that coordinates its voluntary and involuntary actions and transmits signals to and from different parts of its body. In vertebrate species it consists of two main parts, the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS contains the brain and spinal cord. The PNS consists mainly of nerves, which are enclosed bundles of the long fibers or axons, that connect the CNS to every other part of the body.

This isn't just a biology textbook, it's the biology textbook - I can see how it has achieved its reputation. It can double as exercise equipment, is part encyclopedia, and is over 1300 pages, but it still manages to feel concise and approachable. The authors/editors were also somehow able to achieve a remarkable consistency of style - it feels like a single person wrote the entirety of this massive tome.

The style itself is lucid, engaging, and, most of all, intelligent; the authors clearly care about linguistic precision, something which many scientific types seem to neglect. (See MIT's freshman composition course.) In fairness, I have noticed that biologists' writing skills seem to be generally superior to those of scientists of other disciplines. Anectodal evidence may be statistically insignificant, but I know what I've observed. I'm giving it 4 stars because I reserve my 5-star ratings for undisputed, canonical classics of world science and literature. Biology is not such a book, but neither could it be. A splendidly written, encyclopedic, definitive, and even enjoyable introductory textbook which gave me an outstanding education in the essentials of the life sciences. I will return to it often.

It reads almost as easily as a novel. It's a page turner. It leaves you feeling blown away by all the details that we as mankind have learned about nature. The order of how the concepts and facts are introduced are part of what makes this book great. You read about how we have come to understood it and you get a glimpse of what is yet to be discovered. It makes you appreciate and get a feel for the complexity of life.

I wasn't going to review Biology by Neil A. Campbell, because well. Ffa Officer Installation Ceremony Script more. It's ubiquitous. I studied from the sixth edition in high school for Biology AP and the eighth edition for first-year Biology, and while I read it, there were definitely places I didn't because I didn't have to or didn't want to or I fell asleep or I briefly wanted a social life. Where the hell do I get off thinking I am expert enough to review a first-year textbook about biology?

Where the hell do I get off thinking I am expert enough to review a first-year textbook about biology? But then, I remembered: 1. Until those free-source online textbooks gain user-friendliness and traction against the capitalist beast that is the textbook system, it will remain ubiquitous. (And boy, is that rant about the abuses of the textbook business long, off-topic, and totally for another day.) 2. That means I spent two years with it, and if nothing else learned via idea diffusion while my head rested on its glossy pages because I got an A- grade average. (Idea diffusion is college student urban myth that is going to be proven any year now, just you wait and see.) 3.

What else is education for than to teach you that you know nothing? In short, I like it, actually. Even if the prose gets unwieldy at times, and the layout gets overwhelming. There's always a beautiful picture of a tentacly nautilus I can doodle into my notes or an interview with scientist who gets grants to give IQ tests to ants or something on the next page. Can't hurt to get in that mythical volumes edition though; your back will probably thank me.

Also my prickly second-quarter Biology professor had a signed edition with him always. That level of respect has got to mean something.

Rating: 4.5 stars. I'm not one to review textbooks used for school, but this one is good enough for me to make an exception.

Though I didn't read the entire textbook, I did have to read about 75% of it for my college courses in General Biology I & II. I thoroughly enjoyed using this textbook for my Biology classes as well as for personal education. Each section is clear, concise, and, above all else, interesting; I was never bored while sifting through its hundreds of pages.

Each section is clear, concise, and, above all else, interesting; I was never bored while sifting through its hundreds of pages. I learned a lot from this textbook (as well as from my excellent Biology professor!) and was able to take stellar notes from it.

As well, the illustrations, photographs, charts, and other accompanying graphics greatly enhanced the text and provided a means through which visual learners can thrive in lieu of hours of reading. Were it not for this exceptionally well researched, brilliantly written textbook, I would have struggled to pass my Biology classes. Thankfully, I was able to pass with flying colors because of this textbook. If you're lucky enough to have a professor that utilizes this particular textbook in their class, you will not be disappointed. The definitive study material for all high school biology competitions. The textbook is written in a slightly informal tone that keeps the book readable.

Diagrams are strategically dispersed throughout the chapters to supplement and clarify text. Having read both the 7th and 9th editions, I found that the 9th edition was well edited to contain more up-to-date information but there was some crucial information left out that was in the 7th edition.

Having read both the 7th and 9th editions, I found that the 9th edition was well edited to contain more up-to-date information but there was some crucial information left out that was in the 7th edition. In particular the 9th edition omits a chart of the essential amino acids and a chart of the classes of antibodies. If you are reading the 9th edition to prepare for USABO be sure to be aware of what was omitted. Campbell's Biology is an EXTREMELY incredible book. Even if you know NOTHING about biology, but you are interested in biology the book will make it possible for you to master all the concepts to create a firm basis. If you are already a student of biology it will help you crystallize what you already know, it will help you give your knowledge a good structure and refresher course. Everything is explained extremely well.

The questions at the end of chapters help you test your mastery of the topics. Campbell's Biology is an EXTREMELY incredible book.

The illustrations are very informative and awesome. Can't recommend this book enough.

A must have for every biologist and layman alike.
