5 out of 5 stars Very Good if you can lift it   May 31, 2008
 12 out of 13 found this review helpful

I completed my B.A. in biology over 30 years ago and got this book for self-study and to catch up with progress in topics outside of my work experience. The sections seem well written and illustrated. Since this is an introductory text it has sidebars and interviews meant to interest the intro student. I'd leave those out, if only to make the book less massive.

I was able to purchase this book through Amazon.com for my class for $35.00 less than what it was sold for at the college book store, with free shipping. As much as college text books are, I was thrilled to save the money. I found out afterwards that a national book store chain contracts at my school book store. No wonder it was $35.00 more there! I will check Amazon.com for every class from now on.


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!

My college bookstore wanted this book for $185.00, I paid $137 on Amazon. This book also comes with a CD (student access kit). Amazon will continue to get my business when it comes to textbooks, if the price is right.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3VIDXFD6SUFAF I am taking the second semester of this class right now.
I had this book for the first semester. One will
have to do a lot of reading but the book does a
good job explaining concepts. The CD that
comes with the book is awesome for testing
your knowledge. If I may suggest something that
has helped my studies greatly, a little book called
Don't Like to Read, Then Don't, Listen!: How to
Turn Any Type of Text Into Audio Files That Can
Be Read to You!. I know that many students out
there are like me and would rather listen to
material than have to read it themselves. I use
programs like the one that is reading this review
to have my texts read to me. This is a god send
for me. One can get this title on amazon.
