After
almost twenty years and 3
editions, used in over 2000 high
schools and colleges,
Biotechnology: Science for
The New Millennium
books, lab manuals, and teacher
support materials will no longer
be published by a traditional
textbook publisher.
First
of all, I want to thank the staff
at Paradigm Publishing, and later
EMC, who signed me in 2004 and
provided me with a huge amount of
support and flexibility to create
a science curriculum that
prepares students of any age for
a future in the science and
business of
biotechnology.
In
light of these circumstances, and
to get this valuable curriculum
to educators in a timely manner,
I have decided to provide the 2nd
edition of Biotechnology:
Science for the New
Millennium (BS4NM) free of
charge.
This
means that any educator who can
demonstrate that they are
affiliated with an educational
facility will be able to get
electronic copies of the BS4NM
Textbook (ePub format), Lab
Manual, Instructor's Guide and
Course Planner (lesson plans) as
well as most of the online
digital BS4NM resources for use
in their classroom, all for
free.
To
receive access to the BS4NM
materials, each educator will
have to register with their
"school" email address and
provide other information about
their teaching position and how
the curriculum will be used. The
educator will also have to agree
to provide only their own
students with copies of the BS4NM
curriculum (free of charge and
with no profit) and not to
distribute it to other educators,
non-students, or
companies.
To
receive access to the BS4NM
curriculum materials you must
acknowledge that all materials
are presented "as is," since I
will no longer be updating or
regularly supporting the
curriculum. The use of all BS4NM
materials and recommendations are
at the educator's own
risk.
Anything
you find on my Biotechnology
Educator Website is free for you
to use as needed. If I have given
credit to another author for a
particular document, lab, or
activity, please do the same if
you use it.
Best
Biotech Wishes,
