1. To reconsider biology, one must reconsider both the written material and the visual elements in addition to the assessments.
   The traditional approach to textbook creation involves writing chapters first, then deciding on visual elements, and finally, after the book is complete, assembling a test bank and supplementary media. This method greatly restricts the integration across resources and diminishes the importance of visuals, media, and tests as secondary materials rather than primary resources for student education. Biology: How Life Works undertakes the innovative approach of simultaneously developing three core components – the text, the visual program, and the assessments. Each of these components has been shaped parallelly to ensure that every concept is presented in the most suitable format, fostering genuine integration. All three components are interconnected by a common set of core principles, share a universal language, and employ consistent visual elements. This approach establishes a symbiotic relationship between the text, visual program, and assessments, making them essential elements of student learning rather than mere supplements to the text.RECONCEPTUALIZING THE WRITTEN CONTENT
   Integrated
   Biology: How Life Works shifts its focus from isolated topics towards a holistic approach. It embeds chemistry within context, explores structure and function together, introduces the flow of information in a cell where it best aligns conceptually, and uses case studies as a framework for linking and assimilating information. Curated
   Biology: How Life Works was designed not as a comprehensive biology reference, but as a resource concentrating on fundamental principles, terms, and experiments. This enables students to more easily identify, comprehend, and apply crucial concepts, laying the groundwork for deeper biological understanding. Thematic
   Biology: How Life Works incorporates six themes throughout the text. Initiated in Chapter 1 and reiterated throughout, these themes offer a structure that aids students in perceiving biology as a network of interconnected concepts. Evolution, in particular, is emphasized for its ability to explain and predict various biological patterns.RECONCEPTUALIZING THE VISUAL PROGRAM
   Integrated
   InBiology: How Life Works, whether students are viewing a figure in the book, watching an animation, or interacting with a simulation, they consistently encounter a unified application of color, shapes, and design.Captivating
   Each static and dynamic image captivates students by being vivid, clear, and approachable. This results in a visual environment adeptly crafted to engage students, arouse their curiosity, and reveal the intricacies of natural processes.A Visual Framework
   To encourage students to think like biologists, the visual program is structured as a scaffold for students to grasp the concepts and establish connections. Individual figures elucidate foundational ideas; Visual Synthesis figures interlink multiple concepts across chapters; animations animate these figures; and simulations enable students to interact with the concepts. Collectively, this visual framework empowers students to seamlessly transition between the big picture and the finer details.RECONCEPTUALIZING THE ASSESSMENT
