Biology,
Principles and Explorations
The Milpitas Post reported on May 30, 2002, that "Milpitas
High School's science department is considering adoption of "Biology,
Principals [sic] and Explorations," by publisher Holt, Reinhart
and Winston, for ninth to 12th grades." That's their spelling,
not mine.
Big Biology Books Fail to Convey Big Ideas
From AAAS Project 2061
In today's society, one cannot read a newspaper without recognizing
the central importance of the discipline of biology to the life
of every American. Sadly, it appears that our textbooks continue
to be distorted by a commercial textbook market that requires
that they cover the entire range of facts about biology, thereby
sacrificing the opportunity to treat the central concepts in
enough depth to give our students a chance to truly understand
them. ~ Dr. Bruce Alberts, President of the National Academy
of Sciences

George B. Johnson
