Biology inspires wonder. The image of a honeybee pollinating an aster (Symphyotrichum sp., Asteraceae) on the cover illustrates mutualism between a plant and an animal.
The plant relies on the bee for reproduction, while the bee gathers nectar and pollen for nourishment. This fascinating relationship exemplifies the complexity and interconnectedness of life that drives biologists to explore the natural world.
Biology is dynamic. It constantly evolves as new insights lead to innovative ideas and advanced tools for exploration. Consider the use of drones and satellites to monitor penguin populations in Antarctica, the advancements in biological imaging and computation, or the impact of genome sequencing on understanding human diseases and the tree of life. Ice core studies further reveal patterns of past global climate, deepening knowledge of environmental changes.
Biology is a system. It encompasses various levels of organization—from molecules to ecosystems—forming intricate, interconnected networks. Modern research increasingly adopts integrated approaches to uncover the complex properties of biological systems.
Biology is life. Humanity faces pressing challenges, including emerging diseases, sustainable food production, population growth, environmental degradation, and climate change. The connection between human existence and the broader web of life on Earth is undeniable.
The aim of Life is to engage students in these aspects of biology, fostering learning through active discovery. Key concepts and contemporary examples provide a strong foundation for further exploration. Extensive collaboration with faculty, students, and experts in biology and education has shaped this Twelfth Edition.
