Textbooks
Anatomy and Physiology by J. Gordon Betts et al.This textbook was created for a two-semester human anatomy and physiology course for life science and allied health majors. The book is organized by body system.
Online Open Genetics by Todd Nickle and Isabelle Barrette-NgThis textbook examines the scientific study of genetics. It includes the study of genes, themselves, how they function, interact, and produce the visible and measurable characteristics we see in individuals and populations of species as they change from one generation to the next, over time, and in different environments.
Microbiology by Nina Parker et al.This textbook covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health.
Concepts of Biology by Charles Molnar et al.This textbook is a survey text, directed at those not majoring in biology or new to the subject.
Environmental Biology edited by Matthew R. Fisher This textbook is intended for a college-level audience and covers environmental issues from a biological perspective.
Biology 2e by Mary Ann Clark et al.This textbook was designed to cover the scope and sequence requirements of a typical two-semester biology course for science majors. The text provides coverage of foundational research and core biology concepts through an evolutionary lens.
