Good book but beware of spam. by B A (New Zealand) 4 Stars
November 11, 2009
The book itself is probably the most readable textbook I own, and I have no complaints about it. However, beware that signing up to MasteringBiology will potentially result in daily spam to the sign up email. Though the actual MasteringBio site is great it is frustrating that I have to deal with spam for it, hence the 4 stars.

This was a really new book and it even came with the access code which was fab! I saved about 60-70 bucks buying this from Amazon instead of purchasing it from my school's bookstore.
