4 out of 5 stars The 8th Edition...   September 5, 2008
RDW (Fort Worth, Texas United States)
I am not qualified to judge the contents of this book. I do have some criticisms of the book itself and some ideas how it could be more easily published.

The time has not yet come for electronic textbooks. This book, though, is the tipping point for me to decide that not only are e-textbooks inevitable but necessary. This book is extremely heavy and unwieldy. I would like to see this company publish the book in two volumes. The problem would be the lack of appendices from volume to volume. But the benefits would outweigh these.

The sheer amount of paper is mind boggling. Knowing that this is the number one selling biology textbook on Amazon just makes me wonder how much paper is devoted to this text throughout the country. How many tons I mean, not sheets. I would like to see Amazon make a larger model of the Kindle that would allow the reading of textbooks in the larger format. Imagine downloading your textbook on the first day of class from the teachers computer rather than waiting in line at the bookstore... of course the problem with e-books is that there is no such thing as a 'used' e-book.

As far as ordering from Amazon, as usual the book arrived in great shape. I will order from them again (and again) whenever possible.

I was very pleased with the speedy delivery of this Biology book and also the condition it was in. I would definitely recommend this site to everyone who wants to save a huge amount of money of used text books. Thank you! Lynn

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3VIDXFD6SUFAF I am taking the second semester of this class right now.
I had this book for the first semester. One will
have to do a lot of reading but the book does a
good job explaining concepts. The CD that
comes with the book is awesome for testing
your knowledge. If I may suggest something that
has helped my studies greatly, a little book called
Don't Like to Read, Then Don't, Listen!: How to
Turn Any Type of Text Into Audio Files That Can
Be Read to You!. I know that many students out
there are like me and would rather listen to
material than have to read it themselves. I use
programs like the one that is reading this review
to have my texts read to me. This is a god send
for me. One can get this title on amazon.
