Principles of Cell BiologyGeorge Plopper Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

With a concept-based approach, the text focuses on the underlying principles that illustrate both how cells function as well as how we study them. It identifies 10 specific principles of Cell Biology, and devotes a separate chapter to illustrate each. The result is a shift away from the traditional focus on technical details and towards a more integrative view of cellular activity that is flexible and can be tailored to suit students with a broad range of backgrounds. An informal, narrative writing style makes even the most complex concepts accessible to students new to the scientific field, including eliminating much of the technical complexity that many students find intimidating.

Key Features• Ten Principle-based chapters build on the

foundation laid out in the first four chapters of the text, with heavy emphasis on linking concepts across multiple chapters.

• New vocabulary terms are introduced gradually, after the concepts have been established, thereby de-emphasizing memorization of names.

BotanyAn Introduction to Plant Biology, Fifth EditionJames D. Mauseth University of Texas, Austin

The updated and revised Fifth Edition provides a modern and comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of botany while retaining the important focus of natural selection, analysis of botanical phenomena, and diversity. Students are first introduced to topics that should be most familiar (plant structure), proceed to those less familiar (plant physiology and development), and conclude with topics that are likely least familiar to the introductory student (genetics, evolution, and ecology). The text provides the latest material on molecular biology and plant biotechnology to keep pace with these advancing areas of study. All sections are written to be self-contained, allowing for a flexible presentation of course material.

Key Features• Includes new content on molecular biology,

plant biotechnology, and the most recent coverage of taxonomy and phylogeny of plants.

• Now available with a new electronic laboratory manual.

• Plants Do Things Differently boxes help students understand and compare plant biology with human biology.

• End-of-chapter study guide includes nearly 50 or more questions in each chapter, urging students to test themselves on the most important points in the chapter.

Plants & PeopleJames D. Mauseth, University of Texas, Austin

Plants play a role in the environment, in food, beverage, and drug production, as well as human health. Written for the introductory, non-science major course, Plants & People outlines the practical, economical, and environmental aspects of plants’ interactions with humans and the earth. It provides comprehensive coverage of plants in the environment – global warming, deforestation, biogeography – as well as the role plants play in food, fiber, and medicine.

Key Features• Written in a conversational style that is

accessible to non-science majors.• Botanical phenomena, such as annuals vs.

perennials, or herbaceous plants vs. woody, are illustrated with plants familiar to most students.

• Each chapter discusses terms of critical global issues such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, and more.

• Where appropriate, plant and human biology are compared.

Plant BiochemistryFlorence Gleason, University of Minnesota

Raymond Chollet University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Written for the upper-level undergraduate and graduate course, Plant Biochemistry provides a comprehensive, student-friendly introduction to this fascinating area of study. It opens with a discussion of perhaps the most important biochemical processes on the plant: Photosynthesis and carbon fixation in plants. An introduction to carbohydrates, their usage and their storage, is followed by a discussion of primary cell wall structure and synthesis, as well as coverage of the metabolism of inorganic nutrients such as nitrogen and sulfur. To ensure full student comprehension and retention, the text introduces basic metabolic pathways for the synthesis of lipids, steroids, and aromatic amino acids before discussing natural products such as lignin, flavonoids, and alkaloids.

Key Features• Offers a student-friendly, accessible,

and simplified introduction to plant biochemistry.

• A complete ancillary package provides the pedagogical tools essential for student learning.

• Covers the latest findings in the field.

ClimatologyThird EditionRobert V. Rohli, Louisiana State University

Anthony J. Vega, Clarion University

The thoroughly updated Third Edition provides students with a comprehensive foundation of the climatic system. It includes a discussion on air/sea interactions to assist readers in understanding this critical aspect of the earth/atmosphere system. Using a regional approach, discussions progress to more advanced concepts, such as microscale processes; climatic water balance; global atmospheric circulation; climatic classification; the spatial variability of climates; and much more. With additional quantitative and paleoclimatology material, Climatology, Third Edition encourages readers to think critically about the climate system while developing a sense of social responsibility.

Key Features• Without the use of calculus, quantitative

treatment is included where necessary to provide students with detailed explanation of the processes discussed that is needed at this upper-level.

• A revised art program offers enhanced clarity and gradation of all maps, climographs, and images to better illustrate the diversity of climate within varying climate types.

• Provides greater emphasis on current topics, including the “shale revolution,” the behavior of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the weakening or possible reversal of “global dimming” in the 21st century and more.
