Product Description:
BIOLOGY, Sixth Edition continues to maintain the standard of excellence that has made it one of the leading college biology textbooks throughout the world. Professors and students alike appreciate this book's readability, accuracy, and clear and exciting presentation of biology. Its three unifying themes-transmission of information, evolution of life, and flow of energy through living systems-are integrated throughout the book as a framework for understanding biology. The book's learning aids have always been recognized as outstanding. In this new edition, the authors have focused more on the process of science, emphasizing how the body of scientific knowledge has been derived.

This book has quite a bit of info, which is good. The flow is so bad. I have just decided to return this book. I am dropping my class. I like my intructor and all, but I know a school that uses a better book. using a good book is to vital. This book s horrible. A good read if you just want to read about biology. It is horrible if you are reading info that you will be tested on.

I used this textbook in a class taught by one of the authors. The arrangments is designed to make it easy to skim, that is the very first few pages of each section summarize the sectioin, with each new section going into more and more detail. However this makes the book very hard to read in a good flow. Depending on the level of your class, yo uwill almost invariably need to know more detail than in the very first few pages. Also, the text and metaphors used are terribly written and often times sentences jsut flow badly and lead to ambiguous sentences. However, the book covers a very broad range of topics in pretty good detail. so i am giving it a modst 3/5 stars. By the way, I got a 3.5/4 in this class so i am not just complaining out of sour grapes.

This has to be my favorite biology book. It is clear, consise, comprehensive, and all the figures and tables are very useful for studying the material. I suggest that whoever buys this book for a course, KEEP IT! Don't sell it, because it's a basic book for all biologists, past, present and future.

This text has a lot of diagrams, pictures and graphs that help the reader understand the material more fully. Also well written and easy to read. The diagrams for respiration were especially helpful.
