Summary: Confusing, long, and unentertaining
Comment: First of all, Amazon sold this book to me for $65 less than my college bookstore. That's rediculous. Secondly, it came way faster than expected, so I was very pleased! Thanks Amazon.
The book was not worth the money at all though.. I really hate it. It was assigned for an intro to Bio course and the book is extremely confusing and hard to read. So I went back to amazon, and purchased the 5th edition of Campbell Reese & Mitchell's Biology. It is a wonderful book. Oh and I paid $5.00 for it here on amazon, it is in perfect condition, with some highlighting. Even though it is a different book, the publishing company Pearson-Benjamin Cummings is the same for both books. The chapters are set up similarly, just the content is presented a little differently. So just keep that in mind.

Summary: Interesting but pointlessly huge
Comment: I bought this book for my BSCI 106 class at the University of Maryland in College Park. Its the newest edition and is pretty much the same as the last edition. It's a good book but the information covered could probably be covered in half as many pages. I wouldn't recommend it for light reading and bedtime stories but it's a perfectly good textbook..

Summary: Basic Bio
Comment: book and cd were just as ordered. But for many Bio classes you will need (Basic Laboratory Calculations for Biotechnology, ISBN 013223810) for your labs . This book was about $44 new .Shipment was on time.

Learn Biology by Learning to Think like a Scientist This pioneering text combines research-focused storytelling with the Socratic method to get students to think like practicing scientists. Each page of the book is designed in the spirit of active learning, asking students to apply critical thinking skills as they learn key concepts. Accounts of real researchers designing and analyzing real experiments, carefully punctuated by thoughtful questions and exercises, train introductory students in the process of DOING biology. With input from over 20 student focus groups and an advisory board of expert biology educators, Scott Freeman has refined the Third Edition to fully tap into students' interest, imagination, and learning abilities. The clear writing, lucid illustrations, and active-learning features of previous editions have been strengthened as a result of the meticulous research and revision process conducted with students and the advisory board. New study tools directly address two of the biggest learning challenges for introductory students: finding important information and recognizing whether or not they truly understand a concept.Praised for its sensible use of evolutionary analysis and molecular biology as unifying themes, the new edition has also been thoroughly revised for accuracy, clarity, and currency. The supplements package now includes exciting new BioFlix, the groundbreaking MasteringBiology self-tutoring and assessment system, and more.
