Sinauer Associates and W.H. Freeman are proud to introduce Principles of Life. Written in the spirit of the reform movement that is reinvigorating the introductory majors course, Principles of Life cuts through the thicket of excessive detail and factual minutiae to focus on what matters most in the study of biology today. Students explore the most essential biological ideas and information in the context of the fieldâ s defining experiments, and are actively engaged in analyzing research data. The result is a textbook that is hundreds of pages shorter (and significantly less expensive) than the current majors introductory books.

    David M. Hillis: Brief Biography

    David M. Hillis is the Alfred W. Roark Centennial Professor in Natural Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin, where he studies molecular evolution and biodiversity in the Department of Integrative Biology. He is the Director of the Dean’s Scholars Program of the College of Natural Sciences and Director of the University's Biodiversity Center. He also served as the first Director of the School of Biological Sciences and oversaw the reorganization of the biological sciences at the University of Texas. He teaches courses in introductory biology, genetics, evolution, biological systematics, and biodiversity, and was awarded the University of Texas Civitatis Award in recognition of his service to the University.

    Hillis is recipient of a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship, and has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in recognition of his work in the field of molecular evolution. He has served as President of the Society for the Study of Evolution and as President of the Society of Systematic Biologists. His publications include more than 200 scientific research papers and books on evolution and biodiversity.

    Curriculum reform in the biological sciences is another of Hillis’s passions. He served on the National Research Council’s Committee of Biology Education and co-authored that committee’s influential report, BIO2010: Transforming Undergraduate Education for Future Research Biologists. He has also co-authored popular textbooks in biology, including Molecular Systematics (now in its 2nd edition), Life: The Science of Biology (now in its 12th edition), and most recently, Principles of Life (now in its 3rd edition).

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad textbook
Reviewed in the United States on 15 June 2014

Some of the reviews that I read before I bought this book scared me, as they made it seem that I would not be able to learn anything from this text. Despite some of the info being oddly placed within the chapters (terms and info may be placed illogically and somewhat sporadically), the info is all there nonetheless. This book serves its purpose. I received an A in the class.

3.0 out of 5 stars $100 "New" Copy did not contain Bioportal Access code - BE ATTENTIVE!
Reviewed in the United States on 17 January 2014
Verified Purchase
I purchased an expensive copy of this book thinking that it would include the Bioportal access code ($75 to purchase online without the text)....nope! The new, $100 book did not contain Bioportal and when I contacted the publisher they said not all the books include the access code (so why are they so expensive please??). It would be really great if the sellers would list if it comes included with the book, hint hint. In any case, just be careful of your purchase. Amazon and the book publishing company were extremely nice and helpful and I sorted it out, but still a hassle when classes are starting.
