If I were able to impart the information of only one book and I was the only copy of it in existence I would choose to be a college level Biology book. Biology encompasses all of life as we know it. Many of the advancements in technology that have become common place in this world build their foundation on an understanding of basic biological principles. The very first college level biology course I took impacted me in ways that no other educational experience has.
As an upper level biology book, I would be able to impart my knowledge on millions of people. Knowledge of what we are surrounded in. Every second of everyday we interact with living things in symbiotic and opportunistic ways. As this living book I would wish to change the way in which people see the world, very much the way my world view changed after learning many different scientific theories.
I would show to everyone the progress that has been made in the understanding of life processes' happening all around us: Photosynthesis, the Krebs cycle, the Electron transport chain. I would be able to challenge the people; I want them to surpass my theories, to make their own. I would want nothing more than to become an outdated edition as the biology I have taught gives way to new theories that are more complete and complex than mine.
I believe that being a biology book would give the most wisdom and guidance to all of humanity. It is arguably one of the most important topics of research that has ever been completed. Continuation of biologic theory must continue at all costs and this is the reason in which if I had to choose one book and only one I would choose to become a biology text.
