Mader's "Biology" makes every thing simple with its easy-to-understand language and figures. Great EM shots, summarized tables, and applied examples are a few of the several features of the book. Also, summaries at the end of each section and chapter make it easy to reveiw what you have read in a short time. In addition, I have to note that the book is very simple. i.e. College students may need more detailes, although this book is very useful to them!

Brilliant photography, logical arrangement of topics, outstanding illustrations, and well-written text combine to make this text an outstanding tool in the classroom, or as a resource. Features include: main ideas emphasized in boxes within text; challenging content written for easy comprehension; chapters introduced with clear objectives and concluded with detailed summary; information presented in logical flow; chapter assessment by essay, multiple-choice, and critical-thinking questions; detailed index and glossary.

This book is vary basic, definitely for people who have no background in biology. I'm not sure what level she was writing for, because especially in the beginning it was like she was writing for little kids. Also, her description of meiosis was really confusing.

Like most biology books full of big words and irrelevent terms this 4th edition biology book by Mader was quite easy for me to understand the scientific terms considering this was my first science course. This easy to read book is a must for those who struggle with the harsh technical terms in science

Used it to pass entrance test at Jr. college to get into A&P w/o taking BIO 101. Used chapters 1-25. I passed!

This book is well written and organized. It is useful for the course which I am currently taking at our local community college

Item arrived quickly and just as described. I would definitely buy from this seller again. Excellent item and great service. It is exactly like the US edition except the cover. Saved me so much money. THANKS!

I bought this book from Abe Books through Amazon, they said the book was new! I got the book, it was used and the code to gain online access which is part of the book had been removed ( probably from the previous user from this NOT NEW book, so I send them an email and here is what I say how they respond,

Me:I bought this through you on Amazon, it said the condition is new, its missing its online registration code for my online class. I am going to make an online review if this is not sorted out ASAP. I need that code right now.

The book was like new. A lot cheaper than buying the other book. Completely identical to original. Arrived fairly quickly.

It's too boring and basic for my taste. I wanted a more advanced textbook. Alot of people say that this book was okay, but for me, I give it a 1/5. I'm not satisfied with Mader's Biology. I don't agree with alot of the stuff that was said like: The US population will have minorites (Black, Asian and Hispanic) as the majority in the next two decades. That is bull! White people have children and their children of course reproduce...even when they are teens because some don't mind. I aslo think that this textbook is simple also, as one person said. It's too basic. It tells you what a Penis is and it tells you the function of the other organs in your bod. However, she fails miserably to add how to take care of the organs and diseases that can come from doing things. Sure she has STDs down, but it doesn't tell how a baby forms in the stomach or how big a baby is when it's born. I haven't read everything, but I skip around because my class hasn't started yet.
