Our Principles


Miller, Zoology ©2019, 11e

Grades: 9 - 12

Written in an informative and friendly writing style that doesn’t overwhelm students with unnecessary terminology, this text is a perfect fit for a high school elective course. Zoology emphasizes ecological and evolutionary concepts and helps students understand the process of science through elements of chapter organization and boxed readings.

Stephen Miller, Ph.D.
Dr. Miller is senior author of ZOOLOGY. He grew up wading creeks, paddling rivers, and exploring forests of Michigan’s western Lower Peninsula. His fascination with aquatic ecosystems continued through high school and college. He earned a B.S. degree from Manchester College in Indiana, an M.A. in Biology from Western Michigan University, and a Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin/Madison. Dr. Miller spent his career teaching General Zoology--one year in Wisconsin and 34 years teaching General Zoology at College of the Ozarks in Southwest Missouri. He is the recipient of teaching and professional achievement awards from College of the Ozarks and the Missouri Academy of Sciences. His students participated in his research, which included investigations of life history, activity patterns, and biogeography of the freshwater amphipod, Gammarus pseudolimnaeus. He also studied genetic variation within Missouri wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) populations. Since his retirement from College of the Ozarks in 2012, he has enjoyed continuing work on ZOOLOGY, interpreting zoological issues within his local community, sailing, woodworking, and spending time with family.

Todd Tupper, Ph.D.
Dr. Tupper is co-author of ZOOLOGY. He grew up exploring the swamps of southern New England in search of reptiles and amphibians. His fascination with these animals led him to pursue a formal education in biology. He earned an A.S. in general studies from Naugatuck Valley Community College, B.S. in biology from Stockton College, M.S. in biology from Southern Connecticut State University, and PH.D. in Environmental Science from George Mason University. Dr. Tupper now teaches biology and zoology at Northern Virginia Community College. He works with biologists and both graduate and undergraduate students to investigate various aspects of reptile and amphibian natural history in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States. In his free time Dr. Tupper enjoys spending time outdoors observing wildlife, and practicing tang soo do with friends and family.
