About the Author

For decades, Cecie Starr has been known as one of the best-selling biology textbook authors. Her texts, appreciated for their clarity in both the written word and the visual representation of biological concepts, include multiple editions of BIOLOGY: THE UNITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE, BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, and BIOLOGY TODAY AND TOMORROW. Her original dream was to become an architect. Instead of building houses, she now builds, with care and attention to detail, texts based on this philosophy: "I invite students into a chapter through an intriguing story. Once inside, they get the great windows that biologists construct on the world of life. Biology is not just another house. It is a conceptual mansion. I hope to do it justice."


Christine Evers has been providing tools for biology education for more than 20 years. Before becoming a textbook author, she provided content for Genentech s Access Excellence website and developed digital course materials for a variety of publishers. She received her undergraduate education at SUNY Stony Brook and did graduate work at Yale University.


Lisa Starr has been creating incredible art for the Starr biology textbooks since 1997 and began authoring the books in 2004. She has a passion for all things science, and particularly enjoys parsing complex scientific concepts into written and visual content that engages nonscientists. She has an education in chemistry and biochemistry and an extensive background in molecular biology-based research in both academic and industrial settings.

Editorial Reviews

MindTap meets students in the fully digital age in which they live, tapping into their needs and interests, while giving instructors freedom and flexibility to customize courses to fit their needs and interests, too.

I like how everything is in one spot. They can read, do their assignments, and watch video right in the same location. It seems easy to navigate and customize.

MindTap is at the vanguard of developing means to generate student appeal while engaging them in the learning - writing - process. In an age where data and tech permeates the classroom, MindTap is a refreshing addition to education.

I felt like I had a tutor helping me, and reminding me all the good things to do for studying and completing assignments. It helped me stay on track.

Mind Tap is a product that will help you learn how to write better.
