Whoever thought it was a good idea to make this thick book a softcover, I tell you: it was not. The shear weight of this book, combined with the thin, slippery cover, makes it difficult to hold onto the book. Additionally, for whatever reason, whenever I put this textbook into my messenger bag (a regular messenger bag, nothing special), it always ends up bent and wedged under my other books. It's hard to even pull it out because there's no friction. I try to keep my things nice, but this book was the only one in my possession with dog ears and crinkles after merely one semester of use.Asides from the obvious issue, this book was very informational and to the point, and it explained difficult aspects of biology in such a simple, succinct manner that I learned more from it than I did in many of my previous textbooks. I know I might be unfair if there is a hardcover available, but if there is not, this book can be a hassle. Get the hardcover.
I ordered this book but WITH the lab codes and guess what? They did not work. If you need the lab codes for your class DO NOT buy from , they are charging you for something that doesn't even work! The book was fine but I ordered it for the lab codes and was more than upset when I had to rebuy the codes for $50.
Just so you're aware, the rental version of this textbook does not include supplementary materials like access codes or e-text. I ordered this textbook once and had to return it because of that fact (although if you dig through the product description, you will find they warn you of that).Just a heads up though if you're looking for the text with an access code, they offer it under another listing, but the rental version will charge you twice the money for the same exact product as listed here (and it will not include an access code, although the product description states repeatedly that it does). If you're still interested in spending twice the money to rent the same textbook as listed here (or if you're interested in *buying* the access code package), you can find that product here: ISBN-13: 978-0321967503...Also, there's no number to call if you have trouble. :)
I purchased this book for a biology class that I took, it has all the fundamentals needed to learn biology. I would recommend this book to anyone taking biology or to anyone looking to learn more about the topic.
An excellent textbook, and buying one edition back saved me a lot of money. It's in great condition, clean and with almost no writing or marks of any kind in it, so I might even be able to get a bit of money back by selling it when the semester ends. It was also packed unusually well, in an over-sized box with foam inserts to protect it. But best of all, it arrived quickly, which I urgently needed because of how late I ordered it.
The information contained within this textbook covers a great deal of biology sciences, from evolution of various species to environmental sciences regarding the earth. The text is easy to understand, has chapter quizes at the end of each chapter, and has additional information that can be accessed through the internet.
I never liked Biology in high school but I will say that I truly loved this class and kept this book, did not sell it back as there is so much interesting information in it that I know I will still go back and read for a long time. I enjoyed the class as well and got an A in both Biology classes because I really did enjoy it that much.
So, it is a college bio 100 book. That is essentially all I can say about it.It is in brand new conditionThe price was $140 less than my school bookstore (the book store rental price was the price I paid for it here)Only con would be that it is paperback. Whoever said "Lets cut corners and get this book made with a paper cover needs to be examined. With over 650 pages it needs something to keep it sturdy...Over all: Great new book.
