Review: Interesting and simple! - Wonderful book! Very clear, a lot of simple analogies which help you understand complicated concepts and processes (homologous pairs of chromosomes compared to a pair of shoes - ingenious! LOL), a lot of pictures and many different interesting facts. This is a great book! I am really enjoying it! I don't remember any other college books that made me so interested in the subject as this one! Recommend it to everyone! Review: For an introductory Biology class this is a really good supplemental study aid - For an introductory Biology class this is a really good supplemental study aid. I have a terrible lecture professor who barely skims the material, so this text has really helped me attain a better grasp of the material. It is written in very plain language, although there are some particular chapters in the book which are so densely packed with information, anyone can get bogged down by it very quickly. (Cells - omg.) Some of the chapters are short, while others are long, so don't get "used" to a certain time period that you will study for, as for me it varied between half an hour to read a chapter to almost two hours. Even more if you're going to take notes at the same time. Anyway thank you to the writer and publisher for making this text available as a rental - it saved me so much money, and the content of the book itself is very well organized and written.

A decent book for an Intro to Bio class
I really like how the book uses real world examples and explains things in the most basic way. However, there seem to be some parts where the specific definitions of certain words, parts, and concepts is a bit unclear. But I can't tell if that's just me overthinking it, the concepts being hard, or both... All in all, it seems like a pretty decent book for my bio course

Just what I needed!
The book was in great condition when I received it, not to mention that it came fast. Thanks because this was exactly what I needed for my Bio class and helped me so much this semester! Highly recommend both the seller and book if you need it for a Bio class for college! I earned an A- and it was mostly due to the studying I did with this book!! :)

Let me be blunt and get straight to the joint
I opened the box and all I could smell was weed. The previous owner probably rolled one on my book. It was a disgusting smell and I had to put it outside so I didn't get high. The book condition was also very poor, but as a college student I'll take the discount. I would just appreciate it if my next book didn't smell like a joint. Also there was grass in my book, NOT marijuana, but actual grass from a park or a playground.

Edition
Needed the newer version for my College Biology class, used this older edition. Worked out perfectly fine for me & it’s A LOT cheaper than the one that was requested.
