Essential Biology With Physiology is one of the top biology textbooks I have seen after a year's worth of research. It is especially useful for visual learners.
I could not give it five stars because of the difficulties with the website. It is quite user-unfriendly. My husband, who is a NASA researcher with a PhD in physics, finds this to be one of the least helpful websites around, in terms of ease of access and time needed to set up the course.

I would recommend the book along with UC Berkeley's Open Access online course, rather than the Pearson website.

Very well organized and written book. CD and website that go along with book is a helpful study tool.

Excellent book, just what the teacher ordered. This book is very useful to my Biology class.

I got it on time, in a good condition; and it was cheap compared to my school's bookstore.

I can understand this was a used book, but what I did not like that this book pages was ripped and I bought it for $48.00 plus shipping. I am not able to resell the book because of the pages are torn. I did not appreciate the seller selling a used torn booked without advising the pages were torn.

I needed this book within a few days for a summer class I was taking at Belmont University in order to graduate. I tried contacting the seller and Amazon regarding this purchase and was never given a response. I ended up having to share/borrow a book from a fellow student in the class and it was extremely tiring and inconvenient, and my grade suffered as a result. I would like this purchase credited back to my MasterCard as soon as possible. I have never used Amazon before and have always heard such wonderful things. My mom, Marsha Meadows, is a regular Amazon shopper and in fact, her card was the one used for this purchase. However, I will not personally recommend Amazon to anyone and am thoroughly disappointed overall.
