[Jennifer Tsang]

We're pleased to announce the upcoming new edition of LIFE: THE SCIENCE OF
BIOLOGY by David Sadava, David Hillis, Craig Heller, and May Berenbaum
publishing later this year.

>From the first edition to the present, Life has set the standard for being
the most balanced experimentally-based introductory biology text. All of the
Ninth Edition's innovations-new authorship, new and reororganized chapters,
new experimental content, enhanced features, reinvisioned art, and new media
tools-are focused on giving students and instructors the best tools for
bringing the best of biological research and applications into the
introductory majors biology course.

The cover of Life captures many themes that echo throughout the book. The
photograph shows a southern long-nosed bat pollinating a saguaro cactus,
which exemplifies the complex interactions among many organisms. This bat is
an endangered species, and it depends on the copious quantities of nectar
produced by the saguaro cactus for its survival. The cactus, in turn,
depends on the bats for pollination, and thus reproduction. The two species
have coevolved in a close mutualistic association. In addition, the ability
of bats to hover as they feed on the nectar of the cactus is an excellent
example of adaptation of body form and physiology. These themes of
adaptation, evolution, nutrition, reproduction, species interactions, and
integrated form and function are ideas that are repeated throughout the
chapters of Life. Photograph copyright C Dr. Merlin D. Tuttle/Photo
