Biology professor publishes pioneering textbook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Adjunct Professor of Biology Jim Berry<\/a> is publishing a textbook entitled Environment, Science, and Law.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berry earned his bachelor\u2019s degree in biology in 1970 and his master\u2019s degree in 1973 at Florida State University before pursuing his doctorate at the University of Utah in environmental biology. While teaching biology at Elmhurst University in Illinois, Berry attended law school at Chicago-Kent College of Law at the Illinois Institute of Technology, graduating in 1990. After briefly leaving the world of higher education to practice environmental law in Florida, Berry returned to Illinois and the biology classroom at Elmhurst. \u201cI really missed teaching and academics,\u201d said Berry. \u201cI am a scientist; I always have been.\u201d Putting his recent legal experience to good use, Berry simultaneously began teaching law at the Illinois Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this unique professional and academic experience, Berry retired to Charleston in 2017 to be near his daughter and joined The Citadel as an adjunct professor in the department of biology, where he developed a natural science course in the citizenship strand called Biology, Environment and Law, a class combining multiple disciplines. \u201cWhat I wanted was to develop a course that was half environmental biology and half environmental law, literally half and half,\u201d said Berry. \u201cYou can find environmental science courses all over the country that sprinkle in a little bit of environmental law, and environmental law courses that sprinkle in a little bit of environmental science, but nothing that’s truly both.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after he began teaching the course at The Citadel in 2020, Berry began facing the challenges of teaching an unconventional subject. \u201cThe problem that I had from the beginning is there were no textbooks for this because it’s a unique kind of course,\u201d said Berry. \u201cIt dawned on me\u2014\u2018why don’t I just write a textbook?\u2019\u201d That\u2019s exactly what Berry did, combining years of resources and experience into a textbook set for publication in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berry plans to donate the proceeds of the book to the biology department through The Citadel Foundation. \u201cThey have been very supportive of me. It’s just a wonderful biology department,\u201d said Berry. \u201cIf there’s something I can do to thank them for that kind support, I want to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
