First course in biology
Liberty Hyde Bailey and Walter Moore Coleman
Biology begins with a burning candle and a simple question about what makes it burn. Bailey's first course moves from oxygen and carbon to plant life and the struggle to live, teaching the science of living things through hands-on experiment. Clear and methodical. Take your first, well-guided steps into the study of life.
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.
