2.0 out of 5 stars Biology mess, February 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Modern Biology (Hardcover)

This biology book is a written fairly well, but it could be better if more thought and organization were put into it! The only problem with it are the review questions and other questions at the end of the chapters. They are poorly written and when you're looking for the answers, they're not really in the section that it was intended for. Instead, the answers are in previous sections or chapters before!! It's a complete nightmare trying to answer them! How do they expect a student to learn from and focus on a section in which you have to stop thinking about it in order to review previous chapters or sections? Be consistent and organized please!!!!

We ordered this book on a recommendation by our biology teacher. Unfortunately we didn't have text books this year due to budget cuts and although we had some text info available online it wasn't enough. We needed something more then what information we had been given for the biology class. After inquiring with the teacher, she recommended this book Modern Biology. I ordered the book used and when we got it I was surprised to find, the book was in far better condition than expected. It also went quite well with the k12 curriculum we were using. It didn't take any time at all to match up the lesson either. It was a definite added enhancement to the current biology curriculum were using right now.

I taught out of this in a Christian school. That's a bit weird, as we don't believe in evolution, but that's the book they had. I bought my own copy used from a company linked to amazon, as I like the explanations. Their views on evolution brought it down from five stars to four.
