Folks: After being away from it for a few years I have been assigned to teach = General Ecology for biology majors. These students are usually juniors = who have had General Biology, A&P, and Molecular Biology [along with = General Chemistry and Calculus]. I am writing to seek suggestions for a = current ecology textbook for this type of student.
Also I have been assigned a course in General Science for non-science = students. The topics I am to cover come from all areas of science = [biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, etc.]. In the past we have = used The Sciences by Trefil and Hazen, but most of my colleagues did not = like this text [neither did the students]. Does anyone have a = suggestion[s] for a text appropriate to this course? Many thanks. Michael E. Held Department of Biology Saint Peter's College Jersey City, NJ 07306
