 An OK biology textbook March 30, 2009
Baron (Old Town, Maine)
This book is definitely not for college. It doesn't give enough information for college level biology. The book is also too bulky and wordy. Why? There are many pages that are not needed in the book, for example, how to fold paper to make a study organizer -- this wastes a lot of space. The section summary is the same as the Study Guide at the end of each chapter -- another way to waste space. Also, the lab is not well written; you definitely need your teacher to prepare a lab sheet for the class. Every lab or experiment starts with "1. Read and complete the lab safety form." Why should this be included? Who would spend the class time reading and completing this? The gloassary is in both English and Spanish. So if you don't care about the terms in Spanish, you need to pay and carry those extra pages too. Just about any page, there is blank, unused space. No wonder why the book has more than 1,200 pages, but the information is not really in-depth. Go get Campbell and Reece, et al.
 Biology text review January 9, 2005

This book is one of the worst biology books I have ever read. The descriptions are very confusing and the questions at the end of the sections are meaningless. I would not recommend this book for high school biology when there are so many better texts on the market.
 Good book for college biology I and II September 18, 2004

I had to use this book for my college I and II classes. I must say the book is very complete. Sometimes written on a high level but then again some topics of biology are hard in general like genetics and animal physiology. For really good test preparation questions, I was recommended to also get:
The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Volume 1, Volume 2 and Volume 3). These three guides made me life much easier because the questions showed me what to expect on my actual college exams.
useless textbook November 20, 2003

the main problem with this book is that you need a huge vocabulary to understand what its talking about. This book is not adapted for high school students. I was astonished how long and pointless the descriptions are. Although the labs are very good, it took my class several readings to understand the material. The main problem with this book is that its not written with kids in mind. I liked the materials at the back of the book (such as, how to use a microscope) as these are very useful, however I am not impressed with the contents of the book itself. It is extremely heavy and bulky and contains much unneded information. Although it has its' pros, there are too many cons.
