It is a really wonderful textbook to have learn before coming to university. The background I gained was of great help during my first yr of faculty bio the place we use the textbook LIFE. I'd suggest getting the examine guide, as it is a nice complement to the text. The intros to the chapters have been a little overly dramatic, but everything else was fantastic.
This can be a fantastic text for homeschooling. Each idea is introduced, mentioned, and wrapped up in a 2-page spread. This is *not* the dry bio text you remember from high school. It's fascinating sufficient that I find myself stealing it from my daughter's room. Good for a science-loving homeschooler who's hungry for superior texts at an earlier age as a result of the setup is conducive to parental participation and discussion. Nevertheless, be advised it is written from an evolutionary perspective if you're inclined to avoid this emphais. And of course there's that basically cool image of the monkey preventing the cheetah.
This Bio ebook ruled. It had alot of cool pictures together with one with a monkey fighting a cheetah. Very entertaining. I have never learn many other Bio textbooks however I am positive they do not get any higher than this. And it comes with a cool CD. It has all types of great stuff on it. However the dorky English man's voice gets type of annoying. But besides that, its very helpful. Nicely, if you're on the lookout for an ideal Biology e book, I definitley reccomend this one. I've seen different photos in Biology books however the footage on this guide (particularly the monkey preventing the cheetah) are without equal. Bear in mind, if its a Bio e book you want, then Biology: The Unity And Diversity Of Life is only for you!
