Principles of Life: for the AP® Course

by David M. Hillis, David E. Sadava, Richard W. Hill

A new book.  For a new course.

Principles of Life is the first and only book to complement the new AP* Biology Curriculum Framework. This innovative first edition emphasizes biology’s big ideas and major concepts while providing students with opportunities to apply those concepts through data analysis and active learning—all in significantly fewer pages and at a much lower cost. Gone are the excessive detail and factual minutiae. Instead, teachers will find content and pedagogy to support the new focus of the AP classroom.


Read less.  Learn more.  Do more.
