Purchase options and add-ons

Known for its thorough coverage of diversity, ecology, and environmental issues, this comprehensive book engages you with integrated, relevant case studies, and challenges you with thought-provoking questions throughout each chapter.

The fully revised Biology: Life on Earth with Physiology, Ninth Edition, has the same friendly writing style appreciated by thousands of students, but with greater emphasis on engaging, real-world applications. New to this edition are “Case Study Continued” sections, which connect a chapter’s case study to relevant biological topics covered in the chapter, and “Have you ever wondered?” features that respond to commonly asked questions from students. Thoroughly revised illustrations and expanded critical thinking questions have been added to each chapter.

For courses not covering plant and animal anatomy & physiology, an alternate version―Biology: Life on Earth, Ninth Edition―is also available.

Product description

About the Author

Terry and Gerry Audesirk grew up in New Jersey, where they met as undergraduates. After marrying in 1970, they moved to California, where Terry earned her doctorate in marine ecology at the University of Southern California and Gerry earned his doctorate in neurobiology at the California Institute of Technology. As postdoctoral fellows at the University of Washington’s marine laboratories, they worked together on the neural bases of behavior, using a marine mollusk as a model system. The Audesirks joined the faculty of the University of Colorado, Denver, in 1982, where they taught introductory biology and neurobiology, and researched mechanisms of heavy metal toxicity and the effects of estrogen on cultured neurons until their retirement in 2006.

Terry and Gerry share a deep appreciation of nature and of the outdoors. After retirement, they moved to a ranch near Steamboat Springs, where they enjoy hiking, horseback riding, and snowshoeing. Long-time members of many conservation organizations, they do volunteer work with the Nature Conservatory.

Bruce E. Byers, a midwesterner transplanted to the hills of western Massachusetts, is a professor in the biology department at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He has been a member of the faculty at UMass (where he also completed his doctoral degree) since 1993. Bruce teaches courses in ornithology and evolution.

A lifelong fascination with birds ultimately led Bruce to scientific exploration of avian biology. His current research focuses on the behavioral ecology of birds, especially on the function and evolution of the vocal signals that birds use to communicate. The pursuit of vocalizations often takes Bruce outdoors, where he can be found before dawn, tape recorder in hand, awaiting the first songs of a new day.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional resource w foundation concepts in biochemistry, cell biology, systems & ecology and more. Get it!
    Reviewed in Australia on 10 February 2018
    I am an Australian VCE teacher and I recommend this as an absolutely vital resource for preparing a firm foundation in essential biochemistry, cell biology, organs, systems and processes and ecology/conservation-related topics in students.
    Topics are arranged logically from atoms, to molecules to macromolecules to organelles to cells to organs and systems all the way up to ecological systems. Excellent glossary and practice problems as well as questions testing comprehension and critical application of biological concepts. Works well for teaching (and learning) VCE Biology (the Victorian school-leaving exam) and highly relevant for first and second year university students in terms of building a firm foundation of key concepts and as a ready reference for a number of topics including basic biochemistry and cell biology. The diagrams and images are well labelled and explained, descriptions are concise and precise and the text is peppered with numerous real world examples, experiments and news topics relevant to each biological concept explained. I love this book and recommend it highly.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This makes Biology interesting
    Reviewed in the United States on 28 August 2012
    Verified Purchase
    As an undergraduate, I dreaded taking Biology. Science was never my strong suit and frankly, it bored me. Using this textbook, I took an introductory Bio class (with lab) over the summer. I did well and I actually retained the information. This book is set up in such a way that it incorporates real world incidents (blood doping, plagues, scientific discoveries) into the material to make it RELEVANT. I always questioned why I should even bother with science or math when I would never use it out in the real world, but that is infinitely not true.

    Sometimes people observe things without question. That's me... and thanks to this textbook, I am striving to not take things for granted.

    This textbook gives so much information with helpful questions at the end of the chapters. The loose leaf edition is much better because of its flexibility.
