A Civic Biology, Presented in Problems
George William Hunter
The famous textbook that put living things into a social context, asking not just what an organism is but how it fits the web around it. George Hunter walks students through the environment of plants and animals, their interrelations, and the functions that keep them alive. A landmark of early biology teaching. See life as a system, not a list.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
