Horribly written by Z. Senders  1 Stars
March 14, 2008
This book is awful. I am currently taking a Cell Biology class at Johns Hopkins and we are required to use this book. It is dry, uninteresting, and presents information in a very unorganized fashion. The book repeats itself many times. Also, the text often refers to figures that are on different pages in the book, requiring you to shuffle around through the pages looking for examples. The way the book presents important information is not effective, because most of the important stuff gets diluted with unimportant facts.
This book might have its uses as a reference, but will not help you learn the concepts very well. I do not recommend this book.

A Necessary Resource by D. Teasley (Richmond, VA United States) 5 Stars
March 19, 2006
Any biology student or aficionado will find that this book is one of his or her most valuable guides and resources. The text is clearly-written and very up-to-date, and the rich illustrations, diagrams, and charts that accompany it are truly second-to-none. Even if you don't need it for a class, find a copy and browse - chances are you'll like it enough to consider buying it for your own reference.
