1.0 out of 5 stars NOT a textbook for people actually wanting to learn, May 10, 2006

This book is only masquerading as a textbook -- it is a propaganda tool for those who want to stick their heads in the sand and not talk honestly about contraception. Check the index for yourself -- "birth control" and "contraception" are NOT EVEN LISTED. The section on AIDS does NOT MENTION condom use. It is appalling that in this day and age a textbook to be used in health class can leave out science, truth, and a well-rounded discussion of responsible use of contraceptives. This book deserves far less than 1 star.

I bought this for my high school sophomore because our school district can only afford enough Glencoe textbooks for classroom use. I thought this would be helpful for use at home. While the book is in great shape - exactly as advertised - it's too old an edition to be very helpful. Five stars to the seller for cost, condition and shipping time. Fewer stars for our ability to use the product. Buyers be on the lookout for publication date!

This is suppose to be a beginning biology book for high school students usually 9th or 10th grade. It is probably one of the worse textbooks that I have come across. It looks as if someone without a biology background has put information together. This textbook is difficult to read and concepts are presented in a complex manner leading to frustration. It is no wonder 20% of the biology students do not succeed, especially with this textbook. Biology is an interesting subject, but this textbook will not inspire students to understand the subject.
