5.0 out of 5 stars
An easy-to-read book that still avoids over-simplification,
By A Customer
This review is from: Life on Earth (Paperback)
Although Life on Earth is meant to be a textbook, I find it to be an excellent reference book. The design does not force the reader to begin at the first chapter and read sequentially. Terms are explained in clear english, and the glossary is very thorough. Illustrations are well-drawn and fitting, and the layout is easy on the eyes. Also, the chapter summary after each section is invaulable to students. I cannot recommend this book more to anyone who is interested in Biology or needs a reference book about the workings of life on Earth.

This book was easy to follow. Unlike a a lot of other books, it does not throw a bunch of terms you dont understand at you.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Study Guide for Life on Earth (Paperback)
I decided to purchase this workbook to help me study with the textbook and I found it EXTREMELY helpful! I usually read the chapters and answer the review questions but, sometimes that is just not enough. This workbook help me further understand the content and whether or not I should review the chapter again. I found myself taking the test and having flashbacks on some of the questions this workbook asked me.I highly recommended this workbook for students whose professors goes by the textbook.
