Last edition Elsevier Campbell Biology in Focus is the best-selling “short” textbook for the introductory college biology course for science majors. Every unit takes an approach to streamlining the material that best fits the needs of instructors, based on surveys, curriculum initiatives, reviews, discussions with hundreds of biology professors, careful analyses of course syllabi, and the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education report. The Second Edition builds on the Campbell hallmark standards of accuracy, clarity, and pedagogical innovation, going beyond this foundation to help students make connections visually across chapters, interpret real data from research, and synthesize their knowledge. The accompanying digital resources include new, mobile-friendly tools that help instructors teach challenging topics better than ever before; integrate the eText with videos and animations; and allow students to test, learn, and retest until they achieve mastery of the content..

- • The carefully chosen and thoughtfully crafted content of Campbell Biology in Focus emphasizes the core content of biology. For example:
- • Chapters 2 and 3 quickly review chemistry so that students reach the cell chapters sooner. If students need more chemistry review, MasteringBiology® offers 84 assignable chemistry tutorials and activities that are automatically graded.
- • Units 1-3 give students the solid foundation in cell biology, genetics, and evolution that they need in order to understand modern biology.
- • Unit 4 tells the story of the history of life by focusing on key events in the evolution of diversity, giving students an overview of life on Earth through time in four chapters.
- • Units 5 and 6 provide carefully selected examples and a more focused perspective on the interrelationship of form and function across diverse species of plants and animals.
- • Unit 7 applies the key themes of the text, including evolution, interactions, and energy and matter, to help students understand the fundamental principles and processes of ecology.

Through his research on regulatory pathway mechanisms in the fruit fly Drosophila, Steve has contributed to the fields of developmental biology, reproduction, and immunity. As a faculty member at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and UCSD, he has taught genetics, development, and physiology to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students. He has also served as the research mentor for more than a dozen doctoral students and more than 50 aspiring scientists at the undergraduate and high school levels. Steve has been the recipient of distinguished scholar awards from both the Markey Charitable Trust and the David and Lucille Packard Foundation. In 2007, he received UCSD's Distinguished Teaching Award for undergraduate teaching.
