Customer Reviews

Awesome Purchase!

I received this book in perfect condition! Seemed like it had never been opened before! Im definitely happy with my purchase.

Very good condition

The books came in at a reasonable shipping time, and the condition that it came in was better than the "good" that was listed

Fantastic

arrived exactly as expected. Everything that was said to be included was in perfect condition.

My favorite textbook ever

I've only used volume one of this book, but I liked it so much that as soon as i get a chance, I'm going to order the next two volumes. It was a FABULOUS help in learning about glycolysis and photosynthesis...the pictures are incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend this book!

Great book Great CD rom

I think this text is very well done. The writing is clear and the examples and graphics are very useful. The CD rom, although it does need some massaging to work (requires Netscape 4 or 5, and shockwave I forget which), the necessary programs are included on the CD. Once it's up and running, it's great! The tutorials and activities are very useful in clarifying the information- it even shows a movie of Mitosis and Meiosis happening side by side, to illustrate the similarities and differences- something which otherwise is difficult to envision and comprehend at the intro level. The web resources that also come with this book are very useful. The CD rom is repeated there (so you don't have to "downgrade" your software), plus it has quite a bit of extra material.I would use this text if I were teaching an college, or even high school, intro bio course.
