CO-PUBLISHED BY SINAUER ASSOCIATES, INC., AND W. H. FREEMAN AND COMPANY.  LIFE HAS EVOLVED. . . from its original publication to this dramatically revitalized Eighth Edition. LIFE has always shown students how biology works, offering an engaging and coherent presentation of the fundamentals of biology by describing the landmark experiments that revealed them. This edition builds on those strengths and introduces several innovations..   As with previous editions, the Eighth Edition will also be available in three paperback volumes:  • Volume I The Cell and Heredity, Chapters 1-20  • Volume II Evolution, Diversity and Ecology, Chapters 1, 21-33, 52-57  • Volume III Plants and Animals, Chapters 1, 34-51

"Life" integrates scholarship, an engaging narrative style, effective pedagogy, and art-work into a cohesive presentation of biological data and ideas that should interest students. The third edition features a new co-author - H.Craig Heller and new information - from new molecular techniques in biotechnology, immunology, and systematics. New chapters have been added on conservation biology and on recombinant DNA. Organized differently, the text addresses evolution before diversity and physiology. The artwork blends scientific precision and visual impact.

Product Description: Part of a three-volume set which focuses on students' conceptual understanding of biological processes. This particular volume covers evolution, the evolution of diversity, and conservation and biogeography.
