This is a great book: very easy to read, and contains plenty of information for introductory biology. In addition, it has a free website that comes with the book, and contains lots of helpful quizzes, study guides, videos, etc. A wonderful book!

I am not a science major, by any means. Hey, I just need the class to become an interior designer. The book is definately not high school material. It is written on college level and meant for higher intellect. Considering my background, this means I must read and re-read this book to understand it. However, once I got going, I have to admit, it is quite interesting. I think I may learn something from it, after all! Well, gotta go. I have to read chapter 7!

The seller was very curtious and notified me that he actually had a paperback version verses the hardcover. I really appreciated that.
