Educational Had to buy it for Biology 101. Its a very animated and educational textbook.
The language wasnt difficult to comprehend.
ac My son received the book for his class so at the present time I am unable to review with comments
Thanks
Love the Peguins Even though I was told it had a dent in the spine, it was so small and at the bottom of it that I had to look very close to the book spine to see it. It was in better condition. It also showed up at the given dates.
Great starter! The book helped me a lot. I never had general biology before taking the exam. For best use, I read "Biology: Life on Earth" to give an overview of the topic and the major mechanisms behind it. Then, I used other textbooks which had much more details on the subject. This method worked well, for example, for DNA replication and Protein Synthesis on which "Biology: Life on Earth" seems to have left out some information. So this is a great biology "starter" and if you decide/need to know more, other in-depth textbooks will be helpful.
Bio Text book The first book I received had about 25 pages that were defective but that was quickly replaced with a new one. I really wish I did not have to buy it but since I did, the book was OK as far as a text book goes.
