5 out of 5 stars Very Good if you can lift it   May 31, 2008

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.

This book is great for any biology course. I give it my highest recommendation for any college level course. I personally a using it for General Biology I and it is a great tool with great diagrams to enhance the reading.

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.


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!

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.
