 I learned with ease from this book October 15, 2008
This textbook stands out as one of the best books I've used in college. I was able to learn better from the book than from class. The illustrations were very helpful and the explanations were easy to comprehend for being difficult material, which actually stuck in my head. I was so glad to have this book!
Timley and Efficient September 28, 2008
This book have been very helpful in my studies. The way concepts are graphically represented makes them easy to understand.
Very Well Structured September 28, 2008
I took a few introductory courses in biology and had a hard time taking notes and maintaining interest in the texts for those classes. However, I took cell biology using this book and it was amazing how it presents the material. In the beginning chapters it introduces the basics of organic chemistry and types of molecules in an easy to understand structured way. The authors continue by dedicating chapters to DNA replication, translation, and transcription. They also explain the functions of each organelle in a typical cell; then distinguish between plant cells and animal cells and how they differ in the harnessing of energy. My favorite chapters involved reading about glycolysis, the electron transport chain, and photosystems. The book also has chapters dedicated to mitosis, meiosis, the cytoskeletal system, genetic engineering, and cancerous cells. In order to take adequate notes, I found I had to read one section at a time to gather the main points and then reread the section while noting these main points. In order to make use of the concepts of this text, one has to picture the processes being described. Accompanied with the text is a useful CD that has some cool illustrations. There is a youtube video that everyone taking a cell biology class needs to see. Type in "The Inner Life of The Cell" to see a cool Harvard University animated video that puts into perspective such cellular activities. The point of this review is to express my feelings that I had never learned as much from any single biology book as I have from this one.
Brand new and on time. September 27, 2008
My book arrived on time and in brand new shape. It was exactly what I asked for with no problems what-so-ever.
Amazing September 22, 2008
I highly recommend this seller to any one who wants to buy from it because the book came earlier than expected and the price was the cheapest compared to other sellers. Over all, I was very satisfied with my purchase and the book is in great condition.
