Purchase options and add-ons

The First Edition pioneered the focus on core concepts and competencies that is revolutionising biology textbooks. The Second Edition combines new features with trusted features from the First Edition to make the book even stronger. This text cuts through the excessive detail and factual minutiae to focus on what matters most in biology today.
Well esteemed authors within the biology field, David Hillis and David Sadava, worked on remaking a text that would fit the modern biology classroom. Main features include chapter opening stories that set up an interesting question in a recognisable real-world setting for your students. The investigation figures describe a key experiment and hypothesis that students have to analyse and work with given data to come to conclusions. Principles of Life is available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing.  See ‘Instructor Resources’ and ‘Student Resources’ for further information.

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars New book right for the course
Reviewed in the United States on 29 August 2014
Verified Purchase
Just the book required for my BIO 120 class. Came in under a week and was clean and shrink wrapped. Just one corner was bent, otherwise the binding, cover and pages were all fine. It has a printing oil like odor which hasn't gone away after 2 months. Note, it doesn't come with any online access, etc. and access probably isn't necessary for a Biology course.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too much?
Reviewed in the United States on 24 November 2014
Verified Purchase
This is a disciplined text and covers bio with a passion. The book is easy enough to read that it could serve anyone wishing to expand their understanding of living systems. But . . . . it is waaaay too much for a single course at the high school AP Bio level course unless you are passionate about the subject. Each chapter takes two weeks to fully absorb, considering the labs that should go with it. Instructors may not take the time to fully cover each chapter, and will end up skimming. Think I am wrong? Count the chapters, check the calendar, tell me how to do it. My kid is first in his class and this text is kicking his bottom as a senior and I think that is why it got 4 stars. I recommend it for summer reading for bio students, but too much here for high school.
