About this ebook
GENERAL BIOLOGY: Investigating Life is an introductory level college biology textbook that provides students with an accessible and engaging look at the fundamentals of biology. Written for a two-term, undergraduate course of mixed majors and non-majors, this reader-friendly text is concept driven vs. terminology driven. That is, the text is based on the underlying concepts and principles of biology rather than strict memorization of terminology. Written in a student-centered, conversational style, this educational research-based textbook uniquely connects students and our society to living things from various perspectives—economic, ecologic, medical, and cultural, exploring how the biological world and human realm are intimately intertwined. End-of-chapter questions challenge students to think critically and creatively while incorporating science process skills and biological principles.

About the author
ABOUT DENNIS HOLLEY
I am a biologist to the core, always have been, and always will be. My interest in all things living is broad and generic. If it’s a living creature—plant, animal, or microbe—I find it fascinating. How did I get this way? Understanding parents and a nurturing habitat are to blame.
I eagerly devoured every biology course I could take in college, and although I flirted for a time with the idea of becoming a marine biologist, I eventually became an educator. For nearly forty years, high schools and universities have actually paid me for doing what I love—teaching biology, and writing all sorts of science curriculum materials from lab manuals to textbooks. As a teacher and writer, it is my responsibility not only to inform but also infuse students and readers with a sense of wonder and awe for all the amazing realms of life found on Earth.Rate this ebook
