"In this book, we highlight the divisions between plants and animals, prokaryotes and eukaryotes, protostomes and deuterostomes, but we also consider features found in all life forms.Unlike many other first-year biology texts, this book has ..."
"Welcome to an exploration of the diversity of life. The main goal of this text is to guide you on a journey of discovery about life’s diversity across levels ranging from molecules to genes, cells to organs, and species to ecosystems. Along the way, we will explore many questions about the mechanisms underlying diversity as well as the consequences of diversity for our own species and for others. Presenting the awe-inspiring diversity o ..."
"The Study Guide from the First Canadian Edition has been adapted for the Second Canadian Edition by Colin Montpetit of the University of Ottawa, Julie Smit of the University of Windsor, and Wendy J. Keenleyside of the University of Guelph."

"- highlights the divisions between plants and animals, prokaryotes and eukaryotes, protostomes and deuterostomes and also considers features common to and found in all life forms - covers genetic recombination, the effects of light, nutrition, and domestication across the breadth of life from the microbes to moose"
"The final piece of the puzzle and also the most unique feature is that, through the "Unanswered Questions" box, the text gives students a perspective on what researchers are working on for the future and what the impact will be to the world ..."
