Biology: A Global Approach delivers a trusted, accurate, current, and pedagogically innovative experience that guides students to a true understanding of biology. The author team advances Neil Campbell’s vision of meeting and equipping students at their individual skill levels by developing tools, visuals, resources, and activities that encourage participation and engage students in their learning. Known for strategically integrating text and artwork, this trusted course solution works hand in hand with Mastering Biology to reinforce key concepts, build scientific skills, and promote active learning. The 12th Edition meets demonstrated student needs with new student-centered features, expanded interactivity in the eText, and fully revised assessment program.
Hallmark FeaturesIntroduces the fundamental constructs of contemporary programming languages•Critical evaluation of existing and future programming languages gives students the necessary tools for evaluating on their own.•An in-depth discussion of programming language structures, presenting a formal method of describing syntax, and introducing approaches to lexical and syntax analysis prepare students for the study of compiler design.•Coverage of advanced object-oriented topics and languages is integrated throughout.Addresses the most up-to-date information in this field•New - New material on Swift, a contemporary programming language, is now part of several chapters.•New - Section on Delphi now included in Chapter 2.•New - Section on optional types is included in Chapter 6.•New and Updated - Content describing iterations in Python are part of Chapter 8.•Revised - To ensure the material remains relevant to students, sections on outdated languages (specifically Lua and Objective-C) have
