Principles of Life (POL) is the first book published to address the College Board’s AP* Biology redesign. Principles of Life emphasizes AP* Biology's four big ideas, helping students build enduring understanding around the essential knowledge skills. The Principles of Life program provides students with opportunities to apply concepts through data analysis and active learning, all in significantly fewer pages than other texts and at a much lower cost. With Principles of Life, you'll find: chapters organized around concepts, pedagogy to support these concepts, a focus on computational skills and data analysis, a textbook students will read, and invaluable supplements written by leaders in AP* Biology. Principles of Life addresses the changes needed to meet the new course demands with an unsurpassed ancillary program.

Features
Chapters capture student attention from the outset with a story that sets up an interesting question in a recognizable real-world context (How does caffeine work at the cell membrane?) Students revisit this question and its answer at the end of the chapter, having learned the necessary information to comprehend it.
Each chapter is organized into sections, each of which explores a single essential concept in light of established facts and relevant experimental evidence. The following features support this conceptual approach:
• A Key Concepts list begins each chapter.
• Do You Understand the Concept? questions conclude each section, progressing from simple recall questions to questions that require critical thinking at higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
• Apply the Concept critical thinking exercises, embedded in the chapter, ask students to interpret data and draw conclusions. These exercises can be used in-class (e.g., with "clickers" or to stimulate class discussion) or assigned as homework.
• A Summary provides a thorough review of chapter content, including key figures, and directs students to relevant resources online.
Throughout Principles of Life, this feature focuses on techniques and quantitative methods scientists use to investigate biological systems.
Investigation figures describe a key experiment’s hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusion.
• Analyze the Data are additional sections where students analyze real data from the experiments.
• Working with Data exercises turn these figures into in-class inquiry problems, discussions, or homework assignments. They contain associated questions and expanded materials that are available online.
LINKS
These cross-references show students the integrative nature of biology by referring them to a more thorough discussion of a key term elsewhere in the book.
Investigation figures describe a key experiment’s hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusion.
• Balloon Captions in the figures help students understand the story at a glance, without necessarily relying on the associated text.
In each chapter, these real-world applications of important concepts introduce students to fascinating ongoing avenues of research.

David M. Hillis

David E. Sadava
David E. Sadava is the Pritzker Family Foundation Professor of Biology, Emeritus, at the Keck Science Center of Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps, three of The Claremont Colleges. In addition, he is Adjunct Professor of Cancer Cell Biology at the City of Hope Medical Center. Twice winner of the Huntoon Award for superior teaching, Dr. Sadava has taught courses on introductory biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, plant biology, and cancer biology. In addition to Life: The Science of Biology, he is the author or coauthor of books on cell biology and on plants, genes, and crop biotechnology. His research has resulted in many papers coauthored with his students, on topics ranging from plant biochemistry to pharmacology of narcotic analgesics to human genetic diseases. For the past 15 years, he has investigated multi-drug resistance in human small-cell lung carcinoma cells with a view to understanding and overcoming this clinical challenge. At the City of Hope, his current work focuses on new anti-cancer agents from plants.
