5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent introduction to the subject,
By
This review is from: Invitation to Biology (Hardcover)
As a volunteer science reader for Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic, I have probably read 20 beginning Biology texts cover to cover in the past 10 years. This one is by far my favorite. It is extremely well-written, has amazing illustrations, and is one of the few introductory texts that treats plant biology as more than a footnote to the biology of animals.The book never talks down to the reader and is engaging enough that even volunteeers with no interest or background in science looked forward to working with it and on more than one occassion I had to stop recording because my monitor wanted to ask quetions about the current subject.

Still Using IT!,
By BARKIN ELDEM (TURKEY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Invitation to Biology (Hardcover)
I'm a student in a medical school and I'm still using this book whenever I need good quality pictures of anything from microscobic views of miosis to relatively simpler and understandable illustrations and tables.
4.0 out of 5 stars
AP biology,
This review is from: Study Guide to Accompany Invitation to Biology (Paperback)
This book is useful for AP biology. Best use would be in association with other sources - but it can be used by itself as well. Well written, good questions overall a good book.
