"Biology Century presents a summary of knowledge of the Biological Sciences as we enter the 21st century. The last 100 years have seen a revolution in our thinking about life and living systems. Starting in the first decade of the century with Bateson's coining of the term "genetics" and ending with the completion of the first complete characterization of the structure of the full hereditary structure (genome) of some simple organisms. Biology Century is organized around a set of major concepts of Biology. Each major concept is broken down into smaller and more specific ideas." - lots of material by Philip Farabaugh
This free online textbook from Palomar College looks like good introductory material. "... emphasizes topics in biology and botany, with special emphasis in ecology, adaptations and the economic importance of plants in our daily lives."
I recommend this for anyone getting into biology. There is a lot to read and some has just been updated. I particularly liked the "no nonsense" approach to evolution!
