5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect biology book, October 17, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Biology (Hardcover)
This has to be my favorite biology book. It is clear, consise, comprehensive, and all the figures and tables are very useful for studying the material. I suggest that whoever buys this book for a course, KEEP IT! Don't sell it, because it's a basic book for all biologists, past, present and future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great text, but I definetly wouldn't read it for fun., April 5, 2000

This review is from: Biology (Paperback)
This text has a lot of diagrams, pictures and graphs that help the reader understand the material more fully. Also well written and easy to read. The diagrams for respiration were especially helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst written books ive ever read, March 28, 2005
This review is from: Biology (Hardcover)
I used this textbook in a class taught by one of the authors. The arrangments is designed to make it easy to skim, that is the first few pages of each section summarize the sectioin, with each new section going into more and more detail. However this makes the book very hard to read in a good flow. Depending on the level of your class, yo uwill almost invariably need to know more detail than in the first few pages. Also, the text and metaphors used are terribly written and often times sentences jsut flow badly and lead to ambiguous sentences. However, the book covers a very broad range of topics in pretty good detail. so i am giving it a modst 3/5 stars. By the way, I got a 3.5/4 in this class so i am not just complaining out of sour grapes.

2.0 out of 5 stars No attempt to make the book interesting., September 11, 2005
This review is from: Biology (Hardcover)
This book has quite a bit of info, which is good. The flow is so bad. I have just decided to return this book. I am dropping my class. I like my intructor and all, but I know a school that uses a better book. using a good book is to vital. This book s horrible. A good read if you just want to read about biology. It is horrible if you are reading info that you will be tested on.
