5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book - EXACT SAME AS ISBN 9780077349967, November 7, 2010

This review is from: Biology (Paperback)

My friend has the international edition (9780071221801) and I have the US (9780077349967). The page numbers, words, diagrams, pictures, questions, numbers for everything are the exact same (EXACT SAME) as the US edition. When you hold the books together, everything is copy and paste verbatim with the only exception of the cover and the ISBN number. I couldn't believe that the book I paid 180 USD for I could have had for 60 USD. BUY THE INTERNATIONAL EDITION!!! You will save around 120 USD and that money can be used towards your tuition. Best of luck!

This review is from: Biology (Hardcover)

I only bought this book because it was required for school, but it's actually pretty good. I find the descriptions and explanations to be very clear, and there are great pictures that really help one visualize what they're writing about. Also, it's well laid out and makes sense. Overall, for a textbook I like it a lot.
