Great for my class...
Reviewed in the United States on 9 July 2013Verified Purchase
I am teaching this class at a nationally ranked high school this fall. My background is in zoology and I find this text book to fit the bill for our Pre-vet/animal science leaning kids. The text is engaging, the graphics well placed and they supplement the points the text makes.
There are focus questions at the end of the chapter that go beyond the "List this... " "Define that..." types of thinking. I appreciate those.
The only change I would make would be how the authors discuss the Big Bang in the second chapter. The writing/explanation, while scientifically accurate, leaves some turns of phrase which appear weak and story-like. That annoyed me because evolution is the cornerstone of biology/zoology and I thought that should have been more polished.
Overall, the text is a great resource and I welcome using this for my class this fall.

God book, but didn't used it at all and still got an A.
Reviewed in the United States on 17 January 2013Verified Purchase
Good book, has nice detailed pictures and illustrations. But unless your professor explicitly says on the syllabus that he/she will test you from material out of the book, I would not buy it. I did not opened the darn book one single time last semester and still got an A in the class and in Lab.
My professor only used the book as a support in case we needed more detailed information. My professor tested us only from the class lectures and never even mentioned the book. A classmate of mine bought an old edition of this book in amazon for $5 bucks and used it . I wish I would have done that instead of throwing $200 dollars away, especially with the economy being so messed up right now, no jobs, etc.
