Great price and saved on fuel. this book is priced better than at the school. I will purchase more books for school from Amazon as long as it makes sense when it comes to saving money. Thank you Amazon and Prime!

Great book!
Reviewed in the United States on 3 December 2015Verified Purchase
Bought this edition instead of the 7th. I didn't have any issues in my class. It's still a biology book. Not too much has changed. Just the number of discovered species, (which changes every year anyway). Great book!

It came on time and in a fairly good state, thank you very much, i would recommend this seller for sure.

when it comes to the book itself, well it is too technical for an introduction to zoology class, most of the things have been touched on in earlier classes but they go too much in depth in this one and without the right teaching style it can be very confusing
