Suspended Animations is located in a rural mountain area outside of San Diego, California. Founded in 1986, Suspended Animations Publishing is devoted to the production of quality lab books written for general biology college students. More than 500 teachers and 100,000 students at dozens of colleges across the country have used our books.

Teachers and technicians are important additions to our staff. They offer suggestions to improve the labs. Their ideas are likely to be included in the very next print run. Our customers continually help us make our books better. No other publisher of biology lab books uses this approach.

Suspended Animations creates helpful supplementary materials for the lab books. The “Instructor Guides” quickly orient new teachers, and can be used by student tutors. The “Lab Tech Guides” are full of useful information for setting up lab experiments. We have also developed a set of “Lab Signs” to identify lab set-ups and organize student activities in the classroom. These Lab Signs are FREE to those who adopt our books.
