Required & Recommended Textbooks:

Biological Science 
  • Title: Biological Science, 2nd edition
  • Author: Scott Freeman
  • Publisher: Prentice Hall Publishing Company
  • Note:  we just switched to Biological Science, 2nd edition, last fall.  If you have the 1st edition (the one with the turtle on the cover), it is still good, but you will have to use the index to find the corresponding relevant readings

Customized Biology Laboratory Manual, 1998
  • Title: Biology of Cells and Organisms, 2nd edition
  • Author: M. Muller
  • Publisher: Hayden-McNeil
  • Title: A Photographic Atlas for the Biology Laboratory

  • This book is optional, but if you plan on taking any more biology courses, I highly recommend this book.  It is awesome!
