Miller & Levine bio - Macaw vs dragonfly version

[klmama]

I used the ML dragonfly text with my oldest.  I know the approach to classification has changed, but we can supplement that topic with online info.  Are there other topics that have changed significantly enough that we need to get the macaw version?

Check out the Table of Contents. When I made the choice, it was clear to me that the Macaw version was a HUGE update. I went with Macaw. Biology is a science that evolves pretty rapidly. I prefer to use as current a text as possible. (Old texts are fine for math, classical physics, probably even chemistry. .. but, really, NOT biology IMHO.

I don't know but FYI macaw also comes in an e-book version (interactive and with colors is what I mean, versus a kindle type version). I normally hate these but it's working out for this one

I don't know how much is making it into high school textbooks but it is true the biology is changing rapidly, particularly our understanding of DNA and genetics.
