The third Canadian edition maintains the integrity of the Campbell franchise and will benefit students by highlighting Canadian contributions to biological science research. It does so by presenting Canadian examples of flora and fauna alongside global example investigating Canadian-specific biological issues, such as specific invasive species and providing Canadian data on biological issues.   KEY TOPICS: Evolution, the Themes of Biology, and Scientific Inquiry; The Chemical Context of Life ; Water and Life; Carbon and the Molecular Diversity of Life; The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules; A Tour of the Cell; Membrane Structure and Function; An Introduction to Metabolism; Cellular Respiration and Fermentation; Photosynthesis; Communication; The Cell Cycle; Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles; Mendel and the Gene Idea; The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance; The Molecular Basis of Inheritance; From Gene to Protein; Regulation of Gene Expression; Viruses; DNA Tools and Biotechnology; Genomes and Their Evolution; Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life; The Evolution of Populations; The Origin of Species; The History of Life on Earth; Phylogeny and the Tree of Life; Bacteria and Archaea; Protists; Plant Diversity I: How Plants Colonized Land; Plant Diversity II: The Evolution of Seed Plants; Fungi; An Overview of Animal Diversity ; An Introduction to Invertebrates; The Origin and Evolution of Vertebrates; Structure, Growth, and Development; Resource Acquisition and Transport in Vascular Plants; Soil and Plant Nutrition; Angiosperm Reproduction and Biotechnology; Plant Responses to Internal and External Signals; Basic Principles of Animal Form and Function; Animal Nutrition; Circulation and Gas Exchange; The Immune System; Osmoregulation and Excretion; Hormones and the Endocrine System; Animal Reproduction; Animal Development; Neurons, Synapses, and Signalling; Nervous Systems; Sensory and Motor Mechanisms; Animal Behaviour; An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere; Population Ecology; Community Ecology; Ecosystems and Restoration Ecology; Conservation Biology and Global Change   MARKET: Appropriate for General Biology (Majors) courses.   PACKAGE CONTENTS:   0135309417 / 9780135309414 Campbell Biology with Mastering Biology, Third Canadian Edition -- Access Card Package, 3/e   0134851714 / 9780134851716 Campbell Biology, Third Canadian Edition 0135166853 / 9780135166857 Mastering Biology with Pearson eText -- Standalone Access Card -- for Campbell Biology, Third Canadian Edition, 3/ed
