 Covers Everything You Need to Know as a Freshman Bio Major December 13, 2009

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book covers fundamental concepts of genetics, ecology, biochemistry, cladistics, evolution, radiometric dating, cellular division, descriptions of all of the body systems and how they compare to those of other animals, etc...over 1000 pages of useful knowledge for Bio majors and interested laymen. Some people gave this book a low rating..well, almost every single one was due to a complaint concerning the seller of the book...REMEMBER RATE THE QUAILTY OF THE PRODUCT not the seller!!!

This book is what my Biology teacher recommended most on a list of similar books for the class. This particular book is easy to read and contains more illustrations than most Biology books, thus making the class much easier to learn in. Any student who is currently taking Biology should look into reading this book.

It was in great condition when I received it! My only qualm is I wish that the description for this book under this seller would have noted that the CD does not come with this book. I fully expected to receive the CD that goes with the book since I was buying a "NEW" copy. Other than that. It's wonderful!

i had to order this book for a college course and it was worth the money i saved about 100 dollars by ordering online instead of buying on campus. I was in really good shape and came fast.
