The Second X presents the fundamental principles of biology unique to women in a manner that challenges the traditional approach that considers women to be modified men. By removing the male lens through which women's biology has traditionally been viewed, the authors encourage readers to question prevailing opinions of women's (and men's) capabilities and roles in society.

The Third Edition of Biology: Science for Life with Physiology continues to draw readers into biology through engaging stories that make difficult topics more accessible and understandable. Colleen Belk and Virginia Borden strive to make teaching and learning biology a better experience from both sides of the desk. The authors draw from their teaching experiences to create a book with a flowing narrative and innovative features that require readers to become more active participants in their learning. Each chapter presents the material through a story that draws from real life examples, making the reading more engaging and accessible to today’s readers. These stories strive to demystify topics found in biology. The Third Edition of this book features a completely re-designed art program and uses the authors’ teaching experiences to create reader-centered features such as the new Savvy Reader, Visualize This, and Stop and Stretch to motivate and encourage reader learning. The new A Closer Look allows instructors the opportunity to expand on certain important biological topics. For instructors who do not cover topics related to physiology, an alternate edition of this book, Biology: Science for Life, is also available. This text now includes access to MasteringBiology.

In the new Fourth Edition, they continue to use stories and current issues, such as discussion of cancer to teach cell division, to connect biology to student’s lives. Learning Outcomes are new to this edition and integrated within the text to help professors guide students’ reading and to help students assess their understanding of biology. A new Chapter 3, “Is It Possible to Supplement Your Way to Better Health? Nutrients and Membrane Transport,” offers an engaging storyline and focused coverage on micro- and macro-nutrients, antioxidants, passive and active transport, and exocytosis and endocytosis.
