So you plan on majoring in Biology. Why wouldn’t you want to use what’s been described as the best majors’ text for learning the subject? That’s what you get with Solomon, Martin, Martin and Berg’s BIOLOGY. Working like a built-in study guide, the integrated learning system guides you through the material, starting with key concepts for each chapter and learning objectives for each section. Check your grasp of key points before moving on by answering Checkpoint questions at the end of each section. Reinforce your understanding of the learning objectives with chapter summaries, followed by the opportunity to test your new knowledge. To further help you “get it,” the eleventh edition uses themes–among others, the evolution of life and the inter-relationship of structure and function–as well as interactive online and multimedia resources. Ready to go for it? Then go for BIOLOGY.
