All biology books approved by Texas for 1998 local adoption treat evolution as a unifying theme of biology, without citing weaknesses of that theory as Texas law requires. Therefore we recommend that schools…

• ADOPT Biology: The Web of Life (Scott Foresman, 1998). It covers more standard biology topics and harps least on evolution.
• SUPPLEMENT this text with information on scientific weaknesses in evolutionary theory.
  (We can supply some of this and direct you to more.)
• BYPASS these other Texas-approved books:
  • Biology: The Dynamics of Life (Glencoe, 1998) — less controversial than the texts below, but less academically rigorous than the Scott book
  • Biology (Globe Fearon, 1994) — written at a very low reading level, with minimal evolution and minimal biology
• REJECT these inflammatory evolutionary texts:
  
  

  BAD	Biology: Principles and Explorations (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1998)
  BAD	Invitation to Biology (Worth, 1994)
  VERY BAD	Biology: Visualizing Life (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1998)
  WORST	Biology: The Living Science (Prentice Hall, 1998)

  
  We can furnish comparisons of these texts on several topics.
    — Coverage of biology pioneers
    — Evolutionary slant on standard biology topics
    — Miscellaneous biology topics
