With the help of 300 researchers this introductory text has undergone extensive updating in every chapter to stay current with changes in the field. There are many organizational changes to enhance the text's flow. As with every revision, Starr continues to enliven and improve the clarity of the writing. For this edition she has created many new conceptual illustrations that help students visualize difficult concepts and complicated biological structures.
The pictures and diagrams in this book are one of the best I've seen in all my textbooks I use in college. It makes college biology easier to learn from. I also highly recommend: The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations by Patrick Leonardi, Volume 1, Volume 2 and Volume 3. These study guides have practically every kind of question that can be asked on college exams. I used them and they helped me to prepare for my college bio tests more effectively. I got excellent grades with the aid of Starr's textbook and Leonardi's study guides.
