The textbook editions illustrated below are the books that have been in use or are used in Environmental Biology 2406 since the course was updated for the shorter 15-chapter (therefore cheaper for the students) textbook (before a 25-chapter book by the same authors was used). At present edition 6 is the used textbook edition, but edition 4 and edition 5 will also work. If you can obtain a copy of the "older" edition 4 or edition 5, it will be cheaper. Edition 4 might take a little more time in order to find certain figures, since the figure numbering has changed -- but just slightly. The instructor is in the process doing a few updates to make the course independent of changes in editions -- most of the old editions 4 & 5 are very similar to edition 6 -- so all three will work -- if money is an issue. If so, I suggest that you select the cheapest of these four editions (probably edition 4). Click on the textbook covers for more information! There is no lab manual -- all labs are projects and virtual labs not requiring a lab manual, since the assignments are submitted on Blackboard.
