5 out of 5 stars Hard covered books "rock"   October 6, 2008
Because I have to travel a lot (public transp) I am very happy with this hard covered book. It doesn't get damaged very easy.


5 out of 5 stars MasteringBio = amazing   September 28, 2008

This book is a good biology text book -- it's pretty easy to read and has interesting examples and real-world applications of some of the concepts. The MasteringBio website, though, is AWESOME. It comes with an ebook version of the text book, so you don't have to carry it around with you (good because it is huge and really heavy). It also has quizzes and mini tests that you can take online to see if you understand the material. The best part in my opinion though is that there are all kinds of animations and interactive learning tools that make the material super easy to understand. I absolutely recommend it!


4 out of 5 stars Good Biology Book   September 15, 2008
Dense albeit through text. Diagrams and pictures are very good and aid greatly in understanding biology. Needs more problems at the end of the chapter to help the student lock in the information.


5 out of 5 stars Great textbook   September 14, 2008
This book has a great layout, and it has a great website that coincides with it. It's easy to read and not very complex. Obviously, some Biology prerequisite should be in order if using this book, but other than that, I say it's one of my better textbooks this semester, if not the best.


3 out of 5 stars A little confusing   September 7, 2008

We received this item in a timely manner, however the listing said hardcover and it was actually paperback. That's a bit of a difference. We kept it anyway.
