Biological Science 7th Edition by Freeman, Quillin, Allison & Black et al. (2019)

Biological Science, 7th Edition by Scott Freeman, Kim Quillin, Lizabeth Allison, Michael Black, and colleagues is a leading introductory biology textbook for biology majors, published by Pearson. Known for its discovery-based, student-centered approach, this text emphasizes higher-order thinking, skill development, and active learning rather than rote memorization.

Biological Science equips students with strategies that go beyond memorization, guiding them to make meaningful connections between core concepts and content across the discipline. The text underscores the principles outlined in the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education report, helping students apply their knowledge throughout the course and assess their own understanding.

The seventh edition weaves a single case study throughout the entire text, helping students see how biology concepts connect across chapters and topics. New content includes updated coverage of advances in genomic editing, global climate change, and recent insights into the evolution of land plants. Core topics span cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, molecular biology, physiology, and biodiversity.

This text is essential for students in biology, pre-medicine, pre-pharmacy, and life sciences programs, and is widely used as preparation for the MCAT and advanced coursework in genetics, ecology, and evolutionary biology.
