About the Author
For the past two decades, Cecie Starr has been known as one of the best-selling biology textbook authors. Her texts, appreciated for their clarity in both the written word and the visual representation of biological concepts, include multiple editions of BIOLOGY: THE UNITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE, BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, and BIOLOGY TODAY AND TOMORROW. Her original dream was to become an architect. Instead of building houses, she now builds, with care and attention to detail, incredible texts based on this philosophy: "I invite students into a chapter through an intriguing story. Once inside, they get the great windows that biologists construct on the world of life. Biology is not just another house. It is a conceptual mansion. I hope to do it justice."

This review is from: Basic Concepts in Biology (with CD-ROM and BiologyNOW™™-Personal Tutor with SMARTHINKING, InfoTrac 2-Semester Printed Access Card) (Paperback)
It's indeed a greatist biology textbook that I have ever seen. It has a lot of pictures and photographs to encourage comprehending for users. Telling about biology almostly, the book guides us with characteristic style of writing. Although it is covered with paperback so easily wearing down, I bought this book for almost $30 in Korea. I recommend it for you seeking a nice biology textbook!!
