Note from the Biology Department:
"The complete Principles of Biology (three-semester) sequence uses a single text; [the Biology Department] allows older editions, and in many cases provide cross-referencing to older editions. The utility of the text lasts well beyond the Principles courses; it is commonly used by students studying for entrance exams to professional schools and the Biology GRE."
