Textbook recommendation - emphasis in biodiversity, non-science majors
Dear Colleagues:
Every year I teach a ("lecture" only, no labs) biodiversity course for
non-science majors and, embarrassingly (for me), generally for most
students it is a disaster in terms of learning, as reflected in exam
scores, etc.
Do any of you know of a biodiversity textbook, say 15-20 chapters long,
written for non-science majors. Little by little, my own worksheets with
illustrations are becoming the textbook but until then, I rather have
students buy a used but decent textbook at their level. An example of what
I mean is the simple language in "Animals without Backbones".
Is there something like this for all biodiversity? If you have constructive
suggestions, please send them directly to me:

Apologies for potentially duplicate emails.
Sincerely,
Jorge
