This textbook is widely adopted by colleges and universities yet it is frequently used in high school for teaching Advanced Placement*, honors and electives courses. Since high schools frequently adopt for several years, it is important that a textbook can withstand the wear and tear of usage by multiple students.

He was formerly at Purdue University where for 6 years he was responsible for the largest introductory biology course on campus and collaborated with chemistry and physics faculty on an innovative new course supported by the National Science Foundation that combined biology, chemistry, and physics. Prior to Purdue, he was on the faculty at the University of Kansas for 11 years, where he did research on the genetics of pigmentation in amphibians, publishing both original work and reviews on the topic. While there he taught a variety of courses, was involved in curricular issues, and wrote the lab manual for an upper division genetics laboratory course. His latest move to the University of Iowa was precipitated by his wife’s being named president of the University of Iowa.

Losos’s research has focused on studying patterns of adaptive radiation and evolutionary diversifi cation in lizards. The recipient of several awards, including the prestigious Theodosius Dobzhanksy and David Starr Jordan Prizes, and the Edward Osborne-Wilson Naturalist Award. Losos has published more than 100 scientifi c articles. Susan Rundell Singer is the Laurence McKinley Gould Professor of the Natural Sciences in the department of biology at Carleton College in Northfi eld, Minnesota, where she has taught introductory biology, plant biology, genetics, plant development, and developmental genetics for 23 years. Her research interests focus on the development and evolution of fl owering plants. Singer has authored numerous scientifi c publications on plant development, contributed chapters to developmental biology texts, and is actively involved with the education eff orts of several professional societies. She received the American Society of Plant Biology’s Excellence in Teaching Award, serves on the National Academies Board on Science Education, and chaired the National Research Council study committee that produced America’s Lab Report. iv rraavv3322222233__ffmm__AAPP__ii--xxxxvviiiiii..iinndddd iivv 1111//2233//0099 33::0011::1199 PPMM Committed To Excellence T his edition continues the evolution of the new Raven & The revised physiology unit has been further updated Johnson’s Biology.
