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 but was still concise and easy to read
Reviewed in the United States on 23 July 2018
Verified Purchase
This book was a requirement for a college course, but was still concise and easy to read. In case anyone isn't sure, the loose leaf version is literally just the whole book, but as individual pages. You'll need to find your own way of keeping the pages together (I used a basic 3-ring binder, since the pages were already hole-punched).

値段が高いしかし購入してほぼ半年動物学など専門外は不明しかし値段以上の価値はあると思います。まず図や絵それに写真、紙の質などはとてもいいと思います。自分は細胞生物学や分子生物学、遺伝に関連しているところしか読んでいません。癌についても書かれていますが少ないのでワインバーグ先生のがんの生物学を読んだほうがいいです、しかし小細胞性肺癌なので進行がかなり早いがんなので分子生物学を勉強するには必要だと思います。その他英語がわからなければエッシェンシャル細胞生物学を読んでおくといいかもしれません。とてもいい本です。(^_^)v

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!
Reviewed in the United States on 30 March 2014

I bought this book opposed to my campus loose-leaf version and I am so glad that I did! It's so much more convenient to have the book bound, as opposed to needing to use a binder and worrying about ripping the pages whenever I use it. I loved the Prep-U access too because it allowed me to read the book on my computer! It also came with some nice study questions and materials. I would 100% recommend you purchase this version of the book!
