<p>He died last October–not sure if anyone knows. And yet, still, his publishing company is able to come out with a 5th edition of Biology: Concepts and Connections for 2006…hmmm…</p>

<p>He died suddenly of a heart attack. Students lost a great friend when he died. He promoted teaching with fewer factoids and more big ideas. He had just finished the 7th edition of his big textbook.</p>

<p>I hated that book.</p>

<p>Why do they do that? I noticed that with many of my college textbooks, that they postdate it for the next year, ie fall semester '04 class, textbook copyrighted 2005.</p>
