This is an authoritative majors textbook with evolution as a unifying theme. In revising the text, McGraw-Hill has consulted extensively with previous users, noted experts and professors in the field. The text is distinguished from others by its strong emphasis on natural selection and the evolutionary process that explains biodiversity. Not only has the book been thoroughly updated to reflect rapid advances, there is more emphasis today on the teaching of concepts and this has led to significant changes in how the material is presented. Technology also plays a greater role in teaching and the Online Learning Centre found at http://www.mhhe.com/raven6 and BioCourse.Com provide professors and students alike with an abundance of resources. Five considerations influenced this revision. They are: 1) Focus on concepts; 2) Reinforcing Ideas; 3) Emphasising relevance to students; 4) Keeping up with new developments; and 5) Careful editing.

George Johnson writes in an informal, friendly way, to engage as well as to teach. The focus of the book is on the biology each student ought to know to live as an informed citizen in the twenty-first century. Dr. Johnson, at every stage, addresses ideas and concepts, rather than detailed information, trying to teach "how" things work and "why" things happen the way they do rather than merely naming parts or giving definitions.Broader Treatment. The second edition contains 120 pages of new material, much of it added to give a broader biological perspective to the treatment of animals.Modular Approach. Each chapter is broken into discrete conceptual units, each a learning module designed to teach that idea. This learning architecture reveals the underlying conceptual organization of the chapter to the student in a powerful yet friendly way.Essential Study Partner CD-ROM. This interactive, tutorial CD-ROM supports and enhances the material presented in The Living World and is packaged FREE with every text.
