MidgetDwarf said:IMO Cambell would be the equivalent of a typical AP biology course.
MY junior college uses it and a kid i tutor in math also use it.
I read parts myself and it was not a hard read.
bacte2013 said:"Life: The Science of Biology" by Sadava et al. is another great textbook for the introductory biology course. If you are interested in the cell & molecular biology, I strongly recommend "Essential Cell Biology" by Bruce Alberts et al. That book can be read by motivated high-school student, and it assumes no foundational knowledge in the biology.

The top recommended high school biology books are "Campbell Biology" by Lisa A. Urry, "Biology: The Dynamics of Life" by Alton Biggs, and "Biology" by Raven et al.
These books are considered the best for high school biology because they cover all the necessary topics in a comprehensive and understandable manner. They also include interactive activities and resources to aid in learning.
Some important features to look for in a high school biology book include clear and concise explanations, relevant and up-to-date information, interactive activities and diagrams, and practice questions.
The differences between the top high school biology books lie in their approach and style. "Campbell Biology" is known for its detailed and in-depth explanations, while "Biology: The Dynamics of Life" has a more interactive and visually appealing format. "Biology" by Raven et al. is known for its focus on critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Yes, there are many online resources that can supplement these books, such as interactive quizzes, videos, and study guides. Some popular websites include Khan Academy, Crash Course, and Biology Corner.
