The wrong book delivered

I order biology for dummies but instead I was giving a sugar buster diet book instead.

Interestingly good read

I wholeheartedly recommend the Biology for Dummies book to everyday people or prospective students in the subject matter. It provides a good review of biology down to the cells and the beginning of life continuing to the inner workings of the human body. I admit that I have not completed the book yet. It can be complex such as the Krebs cycle but keeps me interested enough to want to know more. My boyfriend, a self-proclaimed geek, is facinated with the details on life. We both enjoy learning about it through this book.

love the "dummy" book style

I am enjoying this book very much. It's a good refresher for me, and I bet it would be a great study guide for begining bio majors!!

A good book for making biology easier.

I found this book easier to understand then my regular required college biology textbook. Chapters on evolution and ecosystems were very interesting to me. I also would reference this book when I came across a hard topic in my college bio textbook. Donna Rae Siegfried does a good job of explaining hard topics into simplier forms to understand. I also highly recommend The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations Volume 1 isbn;1933023007 Volume 2 isbn;1933023015 Volume 3 isbn;1933023023 These three books were so good for helping know the type of questions to get ready for in my college biology I and II tests. These four books were a definite assets to helping me get very good grades in my biology classes.

Wow! Great review of core bio and chemistry concepts...

Donna does an awesome job of reviewing/explaining every concept from biology that I could think of. I took 2 bio college courses years ago and am going back to school and will be taking some advanced biology courses. I think I now understand the primary concepts better than I did while I was enrolled in the bio courses. I would recommend it.
