Biology 2e is designed to cover the scope and sequence requirements of a typical two-semester biology course for science majors. The text provides comprehensive coverage of foundational research and core biology concepts through an evolutionary lens. Biology includes rich features that engage students in scientific inquiry, highlight careers in the biological sciences, and offer everyday applications. The book also includes various types of practice and homework questions that help students understand—and apply—key concepts. The 2nd edition has been revised to incorporate clearer, more current, and more dynamic explanations, while maintaining the same organization as the first edition. Art and illustrations have been substantially improved, and the textbook features additional assessments and related resources.

This video, adapted from 'Contaminated Without Consent,' explains how the Environmental Working Group, an advocacy organization working to protect children from toxic chemicals in the environment, tested 10 samples of umbilical cord blood, and details their findings. In the samples, the group found more than 200 chemicals, some of which were associated with cancer and other chronic diseases. Dr. Ted Schettler, with Physicians for Social Responsibility, explains that many chemicals have ended up in unexpected places (like breast milk, cord blood, and wildlife) and that action must be taken to protect the population from exposure. Includes background essay and discussion questions. [1:31]
