good book, great condition by S. canfield  4 Stars
November 11, 2009
This is an older version of a text that hasn't changed, very affordable and good to have around the house to help my 10th grader with her current biology course.

Great Overall Book by kbs5001  5 Stars
January 25, 2008
I bought this book freshman year of college and have used it well into my senior year. It's a great book to keep for reference and contains information covered in all the biology classes I have taken. Pictures of mechanisms are easy to understand and very helpful.

Lacking Needed Detail by Z. V. Zander (USA)  3 Stars
November 16, 2007
This text does not go into enough depth. I found myself going to other sources in order to further grasp required concepts. There is also an error in figure 45.17.

graphs are incredible, text is wordy by M. Zhou 3 Stars
August 26, 2006
The graphs summarize lots of important information in a clear and easy to understand format.
Some part of the text is wordy, not very concise. It helps to develop the breadth and depth of the text but meanwhile it's quite distracting and sometimes confusing for grasping the key concepts.

The best biology book ever by Michelle Pesce (Indiana) 5 Stars
August 05, 2005
I absolutely love this book. The explanations are thorough and understandable and the pictures and diagrams cannot be beat. Truly a great read. The book goes into enough detail, but not too much that you get confused. Thank you Purdue bio department for choosing this book!! Highly recommended!

I get great pleasure and satisfaction from taking a complicated subject, turning it around until I see it clearly from a new angle, and then explaining it in simple words. I write to explain chemistry to students the...
