David Sadava

David Sadava is the Pritzker Family Foundation Professor of Biology, Emeritus
at the Keck Science Center of Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps, three of The Claremont Colleges. In addition, he is Adjunct Professor of Cancer
Cell Biology at the City of Hope Medical Center in Duarte, California. Twice winner of the Huntoon Award for superior teaching, Dr. Sadava has taught courses on introductory biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, plant biology, and cancer biology. In addition to Life: The Science of Biology and Principles of Life, he is the author or coauthor of books on cell biology and on plants, genes, and crop biotechnology. His research has resulted in many papers coauthored with his students, on topics ranging from plant biochemistry to pharmacology of narcotic analgesics to human genetic diseases. For the past 15 years, he has investigated multi-drug resistance in human small-cell lung carcinoma cells with a view to understanding and overcoming this clinical challenge. At the City of Hope, his current work focuses on new anti-cancer agents from plants. He is the featured lecturer in “Understanding Genetics: DNA, Genes and their Real-World Applications,“ a video course for The Great Courses series.

From its first edition, Life has set the standard for experiment-based introductory biology texts. There is no stronger textbook for helping students understand not just what we know (scientific facts), but how we know it (the experimental process that leads to their discovery).The new edition of Life builds upon this tradition, teaching fundamental concepts and showcasing significant research while responding to changes in biology education... • PEDAGOGICALLY, with features that match the way students learn today, including chapter opening stories, art with balloon captions, and new Learning Objectives • SCIENTIFICALLY, with a wealth of important new research throughout (see Table of Contents for highlights) • TECHNOLOGICALLY, with instant access QR codes printed in the text, new interactive features (media clips, chapter summaries, a flashcard app), and a dramatically enhanced BioPortal, with the adaptive quizzing system, LearningCurve • QUANTIFIABLY, with completely revised assessment resources and new ways of measuring students' progress Also avalable, Volume Splits:—paperbound in full color! Volume 1: The Cell and Heredity (Chapters 1-20) Volume 2: Evolution, Diversity, and Ecology (Chapters 1, 21-33, 54-59) Volume 3: Plants and Animals (Chapters 1, 34-53)

THE NEXT GREAT CHAPTER IN THE STORY OF LIFE Visit the Life, 9e preview site at www.whfreeman.com/life9epreview The science of biology evolves. The science classroom and lab evolve. In this edition, as always, Life: The Science of Biology evolves with them, in innovative, authoritative, and captivating ways. From the first edition to the present, Life has set the standard as the most balanced experiment-based introductory biology text. This edition builds on this legacy, again teaching fundamental concepts and the latest developments by taking students step by step through the research that revealed them. Also available, Volume Splits:—paperbound in full color!Volume I: The Cell and Heredity (Chapters 1-20) Volume II: Evolution, Diversity and Ecology (Chapters 1, 21-33, 54-59) Volume III: Plants and Animals (Chapters 1, 34-53) A GREENER LIFE Another first, the new edition of Life is printed on paper earning the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label, the “gold standard” in green paper products. Life paper includes 10% pre-consumer waste, 10% post-consumer waste, and is manufactured from wood from well-managed sustainable forests. Additionally, Life’s green initiatives include: • 5% soy based ink • Covers printed on stock with 10% post-consumer waste • 100% recycled paper coverboards • Digitized work flow to reduce paper waste All of which also earn us Courier Printing Company’s Green Edition designation for reducing our environmental footprint. The environmental savings we have achieved on the first printing alone are: • Number of trees saved: 469 • Air emissions eliminated (GHG’s): 52,240 pounds • Water saved: 171,250 gallons • Solid waste eliminated: 28,335 pounds
