Like almost all textbooks it is extremely overpriced. Buy the 6th edition and save the money, didn't use the extra CD info "required" for the course. Didn't even open it. Almost no difference between the 6th edition that I could see.
why is a very basic human biology book SO expensive?!?!?! really $160...because it is required for some basic college courses and for some reason it has become acceptable to rip off college students. shame on m johnson and his publishers.
This book goes from overly simplistic to ridiculously complex and in the process does an incredibly poor job of explaining and more importantly teaching concepts. Unfortunately the author seems to feel it's necessary to cram every single potential piece of related information (from the actual science to cultural, moral and ethical perspectives) into every aspect of biological processes, which are further maddeninlgly interspersed with what can only be described as the author's attempts at social commentary. Be prepared for never-ending references to what's in the other chapters, wrapped in convoluted and confusing explanations that almost seem to be designed to be as dense as possible in an effort to lend authority to the text.
The author and the book are great ! The publishing company not so great. I contacted the author Michael Johnson, asking for help because i was struggling both financially and academically and wanted access to some of the online study help. He responded to me immediately and informed me that he had contacted the publishing company and that they would be in touch with me and that he would help in any other way he could in the meantime. they refused he stayed in touch through my finals.
Although the book helps me complete assignments, The condition of the book arrived with water damage. Pages are stuck together, but can be pulled apart and readable.
Used it for class, couldn't do it without the book. The price was right compared to the school's bookstore.
Great textbook! The issues are very clearly explained and are all current topics. Even if you are not a Biologist, the relevant connections to daily life make it all too easy to understand.
I rented this book for my Human Biology class and it came in great conditions. The book was very informative and we used it a lot through the course.
