Biology Campbell, Volume 2. Mechanisms of Evolution. Evolution and Biodiversity. Plant Life Forms

Biology Campbell - a unique edition!
You are holding a book created by a group of outstanding American scientists under the guidance of Professor Neil Campbell (1946-2004). The first edition of the book was published in 2001, and since then Biology Campbell has been constantly updated and improved. It is the most popular biology textbook in the world for beginners. It is valued for its well-written text, logical and coherent presentation, high-quality illustrations, the opportunity for self-assessment through tests and questions for each chapter.
The second volume of this edition covers three important topics: mechanisms of evolution, the evolutionary history of biodiversity, and plant life forms. Complex topics discussed in the book are explained in simple and understandable language. The material is facilitated by hundreds of illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.
The book is well-structured. The presentation of each chapter is complemented by descriptions of real research, blocks of assignments for independent work, descriptions of experiments, and each chapter ends with self-assessment questions. The book is accompanied by reference material provided in the appendices and an alphabetical-subject index.

Advantages of the book:
o a large amount of up-to-date information,
o a systematic approach explaining the interconnection of all biological phenomena at different levels of life organization,
o examples of real research work, allowing understanding of how the scientific approach works,
o questions and tasks for self-assessment, developing analytical thinking,
o a large number of illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.
