MasteringBio = amazing, September 28, 2008
By Sarah M. (Austin, TX)
This review is from: Biology with MasteringBiology (8th Edition)(Hardcover)
ISBN 97803215443257
This book is a good biology text book -- it's pretty easy to read and has interesting examples and real-world applications of some of the concepts. The MasteringBio website, though, is AWESOME. It comes with an ebook version of the text book, so you don't have to carry it around with you (good because it is huge and really heavy). It also has quizzes and mini tests that you can take online to see if you understand the material. The best part in my opinion though is that there are all kinds of animations and interactive learning tools that make the material super easy to understand. I absolutely recommend it!

Very Good if you can lift it, May 31, 2008
By John D (Olympia, WA USA)
This review is from: Biology with MasteringBiology (8th Edition) (Hardcover)
I completed my B.A. in biology over 30 years ago and got this book for self-study and to catch up with progress in topics outside of my work experience. The sections seem well written and illustrated. Since this is an introductory text it has sidebars and interviews meant to interest the intro student. I'd leave those out, if only to make the book less massive.

Great textbook, September 13, 2008
By Justin L. Gallagher "Justin G." (Memphis, TN)
This review is from: Biology with MasteringBiology (8th Edition) (Hardcover)
This book has a great layout, and it has a great website that coincides with it. It's easy to read and not very complex. Obviously, some Biology prerequisite should be in order if using this book, but other than that, I say it's one of my better textbooks this semester, if not the best.
