- HELP! I aam a biologist teaching upper school biology,
- AP biology, evolution and microbiology at one of the local
- colleges. In our middle school (North Cross School, Roanoke,
- VA) they are being pressed to find a book that is appropriate
- for them. I just reviewed a book, Middle School Life Science
- by Capra and Pratt. It was horrible. The whole organization
- of the book was poor. No wonder we have a problem with science
- in this country, but enough of the "soap Box".
-
- Is there anyone using a text that takes a complete vview of the
- life sciences? Something that combines information and hands
- on activity. I would appreciate hearing from you esspecially
- id you have a good text. Thanks, Dr. Jim Palmieri
