Perfect Product as Promised June 13, 2010 Jorell H. Aparicio (Miami, Florida, U.S.A.) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
This item arrived promptly and as promised in perfect condition. The price was very competitive and the seller provided accurate info regarding the edition and the condition of the book. This person is a great seller.
Once again a pleased customer May 16, 2010 M. Mariano (San Mateo, CA) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
If you really need it.... April 4, 2010 Rene P. S. Bane (Maryland) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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
Not a very good text March 1, 2010 Michelle (Minnesoooota) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
