  Kimball's Biology Pages
It has always seemed to me that the many parts that make up the subject of biology are related to each other more like the nodes of a web than as a linear collection of independent topics.
Another disadvantage of printed textbooks is the inevitable delay between the time that new advances in biology are reported and the time that they can become incorporated in a printed book (often several years).
The first edition of Kimball's general biology text was published in 1965.

 Foucault, the "Author Function"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Secondly, the "author-function" is not universal or constant in all discourse.
Furthermore, where in mathematics the author has become little more than a handy reference for a particular theorem or group of propositions, the reference to an author in biology or medicine, or to the date of his research has a substantially different bearing.
Nevertheless, these aspect of an individual, which we designate as an author (or which comprise an individual as an author), are projections, in terms always more or less psychological, of our way of handling texts: in the comparisons we make, the traits we extract as pertinent, the continuities we assign, or the exclusions we practice.

 Author (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biology, the Author of the scientific name of a taxon is the person or team who first makes the name available by using it in a scientific publication with a description of the taxon to which it applies.
Within each group, the same authorship applies regardless of the taxon level to which the name (with, in the case of the Family Group, the appropriate variable ending) is applied.
In strict taxonomical works the author and the date of publication will be appended to the taxon name to ensure clarity of the sense in which a taxon name is being used.
