The worst Biology textbook I've read,
By
This review is from: Biology: Principles and Explorations (Hardcover)
This is the new edition of a decent line of Biology books. The older edition (the one with the brown turtle) was pretty informative, and made most concepts pretty clear. Diagrams were helpful, and it got me through the class.THIS EDITION IS NOT THE SAME. This edition contains none of he useful diagrams, none of the information, and seems like they took out half the knowledge found in the old edition. This book is so heavily edited that most students will be struggling, even if they're trying to learn. If a student doesn't care, they have no chance of passing with this book.

Confusing book on basic biology topics,
This review is from: Biology: Principles and Explorations (Hardcover)
My son is using this book in his freshmen 'intro to biology' course. This book is so incredibly difficult it rivals some of my advanced biology classes taken in college. The wording is complex and written at such a high level that even I have to re-read many sentences. Too many big words and complex ideas packed into a small space. The graphics are not very helpful. I would never consider buying this book if I was a science teacher. My son now hates science because of the complexity of the topics presented. Fine for a college level class, but for a freshmen bio?? Not a chance.

This review is from: Biology: Principles and Explorations (Hardcover)
Our school doesn't have enough books for students to take home, only classroom copies. So it has improved my son's grades having his own copy to keep at home.
