The book came before the scheduled time and in the great condition it was advertised as. I have bought from this vendor before and would definitely buy from this vendor again.

I purchased this book because I needed it for a basic college biology class. I have opened it no more than five times this semester. It tries to be useful and interesting, but I did not find it very helpful


2 out of 5 stars Not a very good text   March 1, 2010

This text is not impressive. The book is light on information but heavy on redundant (and often bad) analogies. The layout is fine, but the writing uses superfluous examples that are irrelevant to the understanding of biological concepts. Moreover, the authors routinely begin sentences with "And" and use incomplete sentence structures, which can be very distracting during reading.

I'm terribly unimpressed; I wish my biology class used a better edited text because this one is not well written.

The book was exactly as advertised. It was in perfect condition, with inserts and all. MUCH cheaper then my college bookstore. Great buy.
