This textbook is unique -- different from any other biology text in print today. The study of life is presented in a traditional manner as it was discovered by the great naturalists of the past, a large majority of whom revered the biblical account of creation. Unlike other texts, which begin by confusing students with intangible, unseen, and theoretical topics such as biochemistry, subcellular structure, genetics, and philosophy, Biology: God's Living Creation motivates students to learn by first presenting the living world around them, the things they can see, touch, and identify. Rather than following an evolutionary sequence of study -- chemicals, to cells, to single-celled organisms, to invertebrates, to fish, to amphibians, to reptiles, to mammals, to human beings -- students follow the sequence that was historically followed by naturalists. - p. iii of teacher's ed.
