OverviewInspired by recommendations from the AAAS vision and Change Report. Principles of Biology is reflective of the shift taking place in the majors biology course from large and detail rich to short and conceptual, with a focus on new, cutting-edge science. A succinct and inviting text focused on central concepts, Principles of Biology helps students connect fundamental principles while challenging them to develop and hone critical thinking skills. Five new chapters introduce cutting-edge topics that will benefit students who continue their study of biology in future courses (Chapters 11, 16, 24, 41 and 47)

With the extensive use of colour photographs Butterflies and other Insects of the Eastern Caribbean forms a comprehensive guide to the species most commonly found in the Lesser Antilles, the chain of islands stretching from the Virgins to the North of Trinidad and Tobago in the south. Although focusing on this area, many of the butterflies featured can also be seen in the Greater Antilles, the islands of the western Caribbean. In addition to the natural historian and the professional entomologist, the book will be of great interest to Caribbean residents and non-specialist visitors.
