Which AP Bio book to buy? (5 Steps to 5)

<p>There are currently 2 AP Bio Books (5 steps to 5 by Mcgraw Hill) out and I’m not sure which one is better. There are no ratings on the 2nd edition so I’m wondering if anyone who has it could tell me about it. I’m going to use 5 steps to 5 and Cliffs together so yeah… I just can’t figure out which ed. to pick, the newer one should be better right?</p>

<p>Here’s the 1st ed:
<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071377182/sr/ref=pd_cp_b_title/102-2781679-8489752?ie=UTF8&qid=1176949724&sr=8-12&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_r=15J44HG46JCJ7S602W4V&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=252362401&pf_rd_i=007147630X[/url]”>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071377182/sr/ref=pd_cp_b_title/102-2781679-8489752?ie=UTF8&qid=1176949724&sr=8-12&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_r=15J44HG46JCJ7S602W4V&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=252362401&pf_rd_i=007147630X&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Here’s the 2nd ed:
<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/007147630X/ref=pd_luc_023030071377182007147630X/102-2781679-8489752[/url]”>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/007147630X/ref=pd_luc_023030071377182007147630X/102-2781679-8489752&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>probably the most recent one? biology changes quickly and cliffs is a little outdated and doesnt cover some new things like the 3 domain system, so i would get the more recent one with the blonde kid on the front. they are probably exactly the same except for covering changes to the ap test or recent changes in biology (same practice tests, etc.)</p>

<p>Thanks for your opinion, anyone else please?</p>
