Biology: How Life Works - Standalone book

by James R. Morris, Daniel Hartl, Andrew H. Knoll

Note:This ISBN 1464126097 does not include access code. Biology: How Life Works was written in response to recent and exciting changes in biology, education, and technology with the goal of helping students to think like biologists. The text, visual program, and assessments were developed together to provide students with the best resources to gain an understanding of modern biology. Content is selected carefully, is integrated to illustrate the connections between concepts, and follows six themes that are crucial to biology: the scientific method, chemical and physical principles, cells, evolution, ecological systems, and human impact. The second edition continues this approach, but includes expanded coverage of ecology, new in-class activities to assist instructors in active teaching, new pedagogical support for visual synthesis maps, and expanded and improved assessment.

I don’t review textbooks a lot, but I really enjoyed learning from this book. Unlike other classes I am bored with reading the textbooks which are typically inflated with copious bombast. This book was fun to study and I read it constantly. I highlighted and annotated all over it. Money well spent.

I comprehensive book for beginning biology classes. Concepts are explained so they are easy to understand. That being said, they do a remarkable job of rending a subject that I am fascinated in, into something that puts me to sleep.

I'm glad that I read Campbell's Biology first, or else I might have lost interest in the whole topic.
