biology made simple!!!

My uncle is the author of this book, and he gave me a copy, and it helped me a whole hell of a lot in my Biology class! It cut things down right to the point and the vocab words with the quizzes were actually fun to do! I love this book!!!!!!!

Best Biology Book Ever Written

For the money you can't beat Steven Daniel Garber's biology book, "Biology: A Self-Teaching Guide." He has done what virtually no one has ever been able to do. Explain biology in clear, succinct, beautiful brushstrokes that actually get each and every important concept and term across to both the casual reader and the frantic student trying to cram before the next exam. Garber has a knack for telling a story. Any story. Be it about insect blood or about impulses traveling down a nerve cell. He only says what the reader must know. No frills. But he always says it beautifully. In a manner that actually makes this book hard to put down. Now tell me the same thing about another biology book in the history of the world. I'll bet you can't. He's the best technical writer ever. And I mean ever.

Biology: A Self-Teaching Guide

Clear, succinct, explains everything really well. I wish all my texts were this easy to understand.
