3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, but some careless typos, July 15, 2003

This book is of chapters on topics in high school biology. The chapters consist of a series of questions and answers. It is an interesting format, but is not sufficient to learn the topics. Think of this as a supplement to regular study or as a refresher course and you will be closer to the mark.

The images included in the book are useful, but in this day and age I would have expected at least some use of color. Color can aid understanding when used well. However, too often it is distracting because it is used for glitz. I am arguing to a judicious use to clarify the points addressed.

The one thing that disturbs me is the careless typos I have found (so how many have I NOT found?). For example: on page 2 the give the exponential notation for microns in millimeters and meters. Then they give Ångstroms in microns millimeters and meters. However, they exponents for the meters are switched (backwards) between microns and Ångstroms.

Then on page 11 the first give the formula for acetic acid as CH3COO, but then as CH3COOH (which is correct).

These might confuse a student trying to get some background in the subject.

I wrote the company for this book and asked for the errata sheet and they told me that they were unaware of errors, but would check into them and get back with me. The assured me they want to provide an accurate and dependable guide. I believe them. But right now, this one has a couple of issues that readers need to be aware of.

There is still a lot to be gained from working with this book. Just realize what it is and what its limitations are and you will be fine.

I have not received this book I ordered many weeks ago. I am hoping I would still receive it even though it's been awhile back. I cannot rate this item well because I have not received it.

The book arrived at the specified date, was well packaged and was not damaged in shipment. It will be used by a senior high school student in Ghana, West Africa and he has received the book - their school year just started. He is very happy with the book and believes that it will be very useful for him during his next 3 years of school. Thank you for your help as these books are needed but not available for sale in Ghana. If anything more is needed, I will know where to look for the item. Thank you again.
