Supports and motivates you as you learn to think like a biologist.

Building upon Scott Freeman’s unique narrative style that incorporates the Socratic approach and draws you into thinking like a biologist, the Fourth Edition has been carefully refined to motivate and support a broader range of learners as they are introduced to new concepts and encouraged to develop and practice new skills. Each page of the book is designed in the spirit of active learning and instructional reinforcement, equipping novice learners with tools that help them advance in the course–from recognizing essential information in highlighted sections to demonstrating and applying their understanding of concepts in practice exercises that gradually build in difficulty.

New to Freeman’s MasteringBiology® online tutorial and assessment system are ten classic experiment tutorials and automatically-graded assignment options that are adapted directly from content and exercises in the book.

Package Components:

  • Biological Science, Fourth Edition
  • MasteringBiology® with Pearson eText Student Access Kit

About the Author

Scott Freeman

Scott Freeman received his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Washington and was subsequently awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Postdoctoral Fellowship in Molecular Evolution at Princeton University. His current research focuses on the scholarship of teaching and learning and he recently published two papers on his work: (1) how active learning and peer teaching techniques increase student learning and improve performance in introductory biology (Freeman, S., E. O’Connor, J.W. Parks, M. Cunningham, D. Hurley, D. Haak, C. Dirks, and M.P. Wenderoth. 2007. Prescribed active learning increases performance in introductory biology. CBE–Life Sciences Education 6: 132-139.); and (2) how the levels of exam questions vary among introductory biology courses, standardized post-graduate entrance exams, and professional school courses (Zheng, A.Y., J.K. Lawhorn, T. Lumley, and S. Freeman. 2007. Applications of Bloom’s Taxonomy Debunks the “MCAT Myth.” Science 25 January 2008: 414-415).

Kim Quillin

Illustrator, Kim Quillin, combines expertise in biology and information design to create lucid visual representations of biological principles. She received her B.A. in Biology at Oberlin College and her Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley (as a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow), and has taught undergraduate biology at both schools. Students and instructors alike have praised Kim’s illustration programs for Biological Science, as well as Biology: A Guide to the Natural World, by David Krogh, and Biology: Science for Life, by Colleen Belk and Virginia Borden, for their success at the visual communication of biology. Kim is a lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences at Salisbury University.

This is my first time purchasing from this seller and I am satisfied with my purchase. My professor wanted the class to purchase the textbook with the access card. When the package arrived, it was exactly as what it said in the description, including the access card, which is the reason why I purchased from this seller in the first place. The package also arrived exactly as when it said it will arrive. The process of placing the order was simple and I am satisfied overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great price, great book, great condition

I'm a student and this book was required for my intro to biology course. Buying it new here along with the mastering cost a significant amount less than it did at my university bookstore or by buying the book used and getting a mastering biology supplement online. That being said, the book is also very informative. I've used Campbell's biology in my high school AP class and I think that this one is a lot more well-written and more interesting to read. Two thumbs up

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, a pretty good Bio book
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2013
Verified Purchase
I liked using this book for my Bio class this year. It had a lot of information and everything was explained very well. The only problem I had with it was I thought that it was just TOO MUCH information - a lot of information was thrown at you and it could have been summed up more concisely. Chapters took very long to read, but I did learn well from this book.

Really only needed to study the book to pass my class. I got an A for bio class mostly from studying the book and outlining it in my notebook. Needed to read some things over a few times but worth it

I had this book sent to my daughter at college on August 29. It arrived on Sept 29. This person shouldn't be allowed to sell anything. She had to buy another book when it came back in stock at the school book store, way before this one arrived. Never buy anything from this vender they are extremely unreliable.

It’s a good book, good condition, but it doesn’t have the access code as advertised in the title. If you need an access code do not buy this book.

The seller described it as like new, but I believe that the book itself is very new, hasn't been touched at all yet. Going to use this book for the next few months. Freeman is definitely a great author, his book is pretty well-written and highly organized.

Brought to help with Open University distance learning course, excellent book and additional Mastering Biology allows access to book and additional support material on-line when travelling, so I don't have to book around. Mastering Biology subscription lasts 2 years.
