Customer Reviews

Good condition, best price available.

Bought it new, it was the lowest price available and I got everything I asked for. Got it in about a week.

Great book! Complex and simple and the same time!

Great book filled with lots of images and illustrations. It makes complex biology look simple. Also comes with online help including short videos.

Great intro book!

This book is for those wanting an easy reading introduction. Its very informative, well put together and easy to follow with adequate graphics. (I hated the questions at the end of each chapter though, ok lets face it they were easy you just had to really think about them). I wouldn't recommend for a biology buff but definitely all others!

An easy-to-read book that still avoids over-simplification

Although Life on Earth is meant to be a textbook, I find it to be an excellent reference book. The design does not force the reader to begin at the first chapter and read sequentially. Terms are explained in clear english, and the glossary is very thorough. Illustrations are well-drawn and fitting, and the layout is easy on the eyes. Also, the chapter summary after each section is invaulable to students. I cannot recommend this book more to anyone who is interested in Biology or needs a reference book about the workings of life on Earth.

easy to understand

This book was easy to follow. Unlike a a lot of other books, it does not throw a bunch of terms you dont understand at you.
