Kendall Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Secular, high school, not AP. I have Apologia and Shepherd Science. I want to have something else on hand. Maybe a quality geared toward high school biology (if that exists) or a well written college text. At this point this will be mainly for my reference, but I am leaving the option of my student using it if I like it better. Thanks, Kendall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Holt Biology (this version) is very clear. I also like Essential Biology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 What about the Campbell Reece or Miller Levine text listed in a sticky at the top of the high school board? Both texts, IMO, are excellent secular sources for high school level biology. But if it's thorough explanations you are looking for, you might actually have better luck with the AP versions of Campbell or Starr because the detail usually gives a better picture of what is actually going on in a biological process.

Kendall Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks for the titles. I was hoping our college library curriculum center would have one of them, but no luck. If I think of an intelligent question to ask you both to help me narrow it down before I order something, then I will post again. I'm too sleepy now for intelligent questions!

Arcadia Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 An older edition of the AP version of Campbell Biology can be bought cheaply and is good as a reference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
