Jane B. Reece has worked in biology publishing since 1978,
when she joined the editorial staff of Benjamin Cummings. Her
education includes an A.B. in biology from Harvard University
(where she was initially a philosophy major), an M.S. in
microbiology from Rutgers University, and a Ph.D. in bacteriology
from the University of California, Berkeley. At UC Berkeley and
later as a postdoctoral fellow in genetics at Stanford University,
her research focused on genetic recombination in bacteria. Dr.
Reece taught biology at Middlesex County College (New Jersey) and
Queensborough Community College (New York). During her 12 years as
an editor at Benjamin Cummings, she played a major role in a number
of successful textbooks. She is lead author of Campbell
Biology and co-author of Campbell Essential
Biology and Campbell Essential Biology with
Physiology.
Martha R. Taylor has been teaching biology for over 35
years. She earned her B.A. in biology from Gettysburg College and
her M.S. and Ph.D. in science education from Cornell University.
She was assistant director of the Office of Instructional Support
at Cornell for seven years. She has taught introductory biology for
both majors and non-majors at Cornell University and is currently a
lecturer in the Learning Strategies Center teaching supplemental
biology courses. Based on her experiences working with students in
classrooms, laboratories, and tutorials, Dr. Taylor is committed to
helping students create their own knowledge of and appreciation for
biology. She has been the author of the Student Study Guide for all
nine editions of Campbell Biology.
Eric J. Simon is an associate professor in the Department of
Biology and Health Science at New England College in Henniker, New
Hampshire. He teaches introductory biology to science majors and
non-science majors, as well as upper-level courses in genetics,
microbiology, tropical marine biology, and molecular biology. Dr.
Simon received a B.A. in biology and computer science and an M.A.
in biology from Wesleyan University and a Ph.D. in biochemistry
from Harvard University. His research focuses on innovative ways to
use technology to improve teaching and learning in the science
classroom, particularly for non-science majors. Dr. Simon is the
lead author of Campbell Essential Biology and Campbell
Essential Biology with Physiology.
Jean L. Dickey is a professor of biology at Clemson
University. She had no idea that science was interesting until her
senior year in high school, when a scheduling problem landed her in
an advanced biology course. Abandoning plans to study English or
foreign languages, she enrolled in Kent State University as a
biology major. After receiving her B.S. in biology, she went on to
earn a Ph.D. in ecology and evolution from Purdue University. Since
joining the faculty at Clemson in 1984, Dr. Dickey has specialized
in teaching non-science majors, including a course designed for
pre-service elementary teachers and workshops for in-service
teachers. She also developed an investigative laboratory curriculum
for general biology. Dr. Dickey is author of Laboratory
Investigations for Biology and co-author of Campbell
Essential Biology and Campbell Essential Biology with
Physiology.
