Customer Reviews

Pleased

I was very pleased with the book that I received and I got the book within just a very few days. I would definitely order from this site again.

outdated

This book has outdated terminology and facts. If your school is using this book... too bad for you. It was the last semester my school was using this book when I took the course, and the professor had to correct a lot of this in lecture.

Dense, but good

I bought this book for my Zoology 1 class, and found the book to be arranged in a logical manner with review material at the end of each chapter. Some of the material and explainations were dense and wordy, but overall I was highly please with the book.

Excellent zoology textbook

My background is in geology, but recently I've found my interest in zoology growing. This textbook was exactly what I was looking for--and more. My formal education in biology is quite meager, but Parts I and II of this book provided me with all the background (with good depth) I needed in order to understand the remaining three parts.The writing was among the best I've ever read in a textbook: very clear and easy to read. The illustrations and photos are wonderful (and all but a few are in color). The authors and editors surely put in a great deal of effort to make this book easy to learn from and use... and they succeeded. I never thought I'd enjoy reading a textbook so much!

This book is a classic

Hard to improve on the previous editions, however, I like the tremendous online support that accompanies this newest edition. As always the text is consistantly readable, and the authors do a good job of dealing with the broad scope of the subject.
