The book, which centers on the evolution and diversity of organisms, is appropriate for a one- or two-semester course. It's no wonder that Sylvia Mader's Biology continues to be a text that's appreciated as much by instructors as it is by the students who use it. The ninth edition is the epitome of Mader's expertise: Its concise, precise writing uses an economy of words to present the material as succinctly and clearly as possible, thereby enabling students -- even non-majors -- to understand the concepts without necessarily asking the instructor to explain further; Part 1 The Cell Part 2 Genetic Basis of Life Part 3 Evolution Part 4 Microbiology and Evolution Part 5 Evolution and Biology Part 6 Animal Evolution and Diversity Part 7 Comparative Animal Biology Part 8 Behavior and Ecology ER -
