I found this book to be an intresting yet captivating read. It was hard to follow but it had its high and low points in the end. The end was less then what I exspected.
It's a solid book on the fundamentals of biology. Though the examples can be better expressed and simplified. Being a college text is perfect, but the usage in school's biology AP class might be a bit challenging to the younger students. Overall it is a good book with in depth discussion of the basics of Biology. I decided to buy this book, because my sister's class requires the text and the CD. I think that this book is better than many of the Biology books out there, but it is geared towards those of higher education.
This book has lots of pictures for those who need 'em. I find that pictures are easier to learn and memorize, since thats what passing biology is all about. I bought the study guide to this book and it was one of the best books I ever bought. I summarized ALL the chapters in much easier terms, and it also includes those much loved pictures:)
The books were listed as new. When I received the books they both had gashes in it (as my son put it, a dog has taken a bite out of it). The books were old and dusty as if they were in a garage or storage for a long time.
the price is really reasonable for a really thick book. the cover is a bit worn and the edges are damaged and there are some markings inside. overall i'm pleased with this book.
Average. When I didn't receive the book after 1 week, I had to contact him by phone and then the merchandise was sent out in priority mail. The seller could have sent the merchandise sooner.
This book is quite thick and heavy. The diagrams within are great. They'll help you understand most of the important concepts. The CD is really good too. I used this book for AP biology and other college bio courses. Since the instructors use this book so often then it must contain some good stuffs. Beside, if it's "required" for the courses, then you have to get it no matter what.
Okay, first of all this was misrepresented. I looked up 7th edition and it said it was the 7th edition. Although, in fine, fine print, it said somewhere it was the 5th or something like that. It was very sneaky. So, he was nice and took it back. I sent it months ago, and still haven't recieved my money back. I am 16 years old, and spent my own hard earned money on a book i was going to use to help me study. I ended up paying for something I now, don't even have. I am very upset, and want my money back.
I never received the book, please look into this I really need it before I can givo a review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a great deal. Got book on time and it was in great shape. I brought this for college. the book came with a CD it was so helpful. I will recommend this seller to anyone in ebay. Thank you very much.
I purchased this book for a graduate course at the University of Maryland. These authors write very clearly; they manage complex vocabulary-laden concepts in a well written, easy-to-understand, organized manner. The diagrams are excellent, educational, and colorful. The 7th edition has a CD (I have not used it as yet). The chapter reviews are helpful in assessing your level of understanding. Overall, this is the best biology text I have read. I would highly recommend these authors!
The book was in great condition when i bought it and it got to my house quickly. I bought the book because the books that are sold at my school are too expensive.
Fast shipping and the book i got was in great condition with its cd. I expected less since the book was placed under a different categorized name but the book was in great condition..very satisfied...great seller
The book was in bad condition when I got it. The Binding was basically falling apart, other then that the shipment did not take too long. Other than that all the pages were together and the pages were in great shape.
