From its first edition, LIFE has set the standard for experiment-based
introductory biology texts. There is no stronger textbook for helping
students understand not just what we know (scientific facts), but how
we know it (the experimental process that leads to their discovery).
The new edition of LIFE builds upon this tradition, teaching fundamental
concepts and showcasing significant research while responding to changes
in biology education with new design and learning features, new
technologies, and new assessment resources.

DAVID SADAVA is the
DAVID M. HILLIS is the
Pritzker Family Foundation
Professor of Biology, Emeritus
at the Keck Science Center of
Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and
Scripps, three of The Claremont
Colleges. In addition, he is
Adjunct Professor of Cancer
Cell Biology at the City of Hope
Medical Center in Duarte,
California. Twice winner of the
Huntoon Award for superior
teaching, Dr. Sadava has taught
courses on introductory biology,
biotechnology, biochemistry,
cell biology, molecular biology,
plant biology, and cancer biology.
In addition to Life: The Science of
Biology and Principles of Life, he
is the author or coauthor of books
on cell biology and on plants,
genes, and crop biotechnology.
His research has resulted in many
papers coauthored with his
students, on topics ranging
from plant biochemistry to
pharmacology of narcotic
analgesics to human genetic
diseases. For the past 15 years,
he has investigated multi-drug
resistance in human small-cell
lung carcinoma cells with a view
to understanding and overcoming
this clinical challenge. At the City
of Hope, his current work focuses
on new anti-cancer agents from
plants. He is the featured lecturer
in “Understanding Genetics: DNA,
Genes and their Real-World
Applications,“ a video course
for The Great Courses series.
Alfred W. Roark Centennial
Professor in Integrative Biology
and the Director of the Dean’s
Scholars Program at the University
of Texas at Austin, where he
also has directed the School of
Biological Sciences and the Center
for Computational Biology and
Bioinformatics. Dr. Hillis has taught
courses in introductory biology,
genetics, evolution, systematics,
and biodiversity. He has been
elected to the National Academy
of Sciences and the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences,
awarded a John D. and Catherine
T. MacArthur fellowship, and has
served as President of the Society
for the Study of Evolution and of
the Society of Systematic
Biologists. He served on the
National Research Council
committee that wrote the
report BIO 2010: Transforming
Undergraduate Biology Education
for Research Biologists. His
research interests span much of
evolutionary biology, including
experimental studies of viral
evolution, empirical studies
of natural molecular evolution,
applications of phylogenetics,
analyses of biodiversity, and
evolutionary modeling. He is
particularly interested in
teaching and research about
the practical applications of
evolutionary biology.
H. CRAIG HELLER is the
Lorry I. Lokey/Business Wire
Professor in Biological Sciences
and Human Biology at Stanford
University. He has taught in the
core biology courses at Stanford
since 1972 and served as Director
of the Program in Human Biology,
Chairman of the Biolo-gical
Sciences Department, and
Associate Dean of Research. Dr.
Heller is a fellow of the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science and a recipient of the
Walter J. Gores Award for
excellence in teaching and the
Kenneth Cuthberson Award for
Exceptional Service to Stanford
University. His research is on
the neurobiology of sleep and
circadian rhythms, mammalian
hibernation, the regulation of
body temperature, the physiology
of human performance, and the
neurobiology of learning. He has
done research on a huge variety
of animals and physiolo-gical
problems, including from sleeping
kangaroo rats, diving seals,
hibernating bears, photo-periodic
hamsters, and exercising
athletes. Dr. Heller has extended
his enthusiasm for promoting
active learning via the
development of a two-year
curriculum in human biology
for the middle grades, through
the production of Virtual Labs—
interactive computer-based
modules to teach physiology.
MAY BERENBAUM is the
Swanlund Professor and Head of
the Department of Entomology
at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. She has
taught courses in introductory
animal biology, entomology,
insect ecology and chemical
ecology and has received awards
at the regional and national levels
teaching from the Entomological
Society of America. A fellow of the
National Academy of Sciences,
the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences, and the American
Philosophical Society, she served as
President of the American Institute
for Biological Sciences in 2009
and currently serves on the Board
of Directors of AAAS. Her research
addresses insect-plant coevolution
from molecular mechanisms
of detoxification to impacts of
herbivory on community structure.
Concerned with the practical
application of ecological and
evolutionary principles, she has
examined impacts of genetic
engineering, global climate
change, and invasive species on
natural and agricultural
ecosystems. In recognition of
her work, she received the 2011
Tyler Prize for Environmental
Achievement. Devoted to fostering
science literacy, she has published
numerous articles and five books
on insects for the general public.

Written in the spirit of the reform movement that is reinvigorating the
introductory majors course, Principles of Life cuts through the thicket
of excessive detail to focus on what matters most in the study of biology
today. Students explore the most essential biological ideas and information
in the context of the field’s defining experiments, and are actively engaged
in analyzing research data. The result is a textbook that is hundreds of
pages shorter (and significantly less expensive) than current majors
introductory books.
This title may not be available in all areas. Please contact your representative for more information.
“Our department adopted Principles of Life
last year as part of our effort to refocus our
introductory sequence in a manner
consistent with the NSF/AAAS mandate
‘Vision and Change in Undergraduate
Biology Education.’ While the text is
substantially slimmer than the dominant
introductory biology books in the market, we
found that essential concepts and
content are well represented. I found that
I was able to address foundational material as
deeply as I had in the past, but I was able to do
so more efficiently. As a result—for the first
time in eight years teaching
this course—I was able to address all of the
major sections I’d aspired to teach in the semester. I look forward to using the
text again this fall.”
