Pete Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I was wondering if someone here could recommend a biology text book for someone who wants to learn biology, basically from scratch. I'm interested in a college level text since I know the basics of biology. Thanks. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I used this book for bio 1 and 2 *shrug* I actually pulled it off the shelf the other day to quiz myself with the end of chapter questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDarwin Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Miller and Levine's Biology is something of a standard, and I remember to be really good. It's the first textbook I took to reading for fun. It's a high school book, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I would also recommend the Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmydasaint Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I would highly recommend Roberts, Reiss and Monger. It is for British Sixth Forms (Yrs 12 and 13) but chooses breadth rather than depth and succeeds in entertaining and informing the enquiring mind. For a preview see: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=HHaDGynAz1EC&pg=PR7&lpg=PR7&dq=Roberts,+Reiss+and+Monger&source=web&ots=v5VIfcKVux&sig=_ogvClVOtzQK9VSY47YeJJjpEtg&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPR8,M1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
