Customer Reviews

Biology: I saved a lot of money buying an older edition of this book and it's the same content. Certain subjects don't really change. So for me it works. Thanks!… More reviews

good book, great condition: This is an older version of a text that hasn't changed, very affordable and good to have around the house to help my 10th grader with her current biology course. More reviews

Great Overall Book: I bought this book freshman year of college and have used it well into my senior year. It's a great book to keep for reference and contains information covered in all the biology classes I have taken. Pictures of mechanisms are easy to understand and very helpful. More reviews

Lacking Needed Detail: This text does not go into enough depth. I found myself going to other sources in order to further grasp required concepts. There is also an error in figure 45.17. More reviews

graphs are incredible, text is wordy: The graphs summarize lots of important information in a clear and easy to understand format.
Some part of the text is wordy, not very concise. It helps to develop the breadth and depth of the text but meanwhile it's quite distracting and sometimes confusing for grasping the key concepts. More reviews
