    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for those studying any biology related programme/degree.

    Verified Purchase
    Great book, quick big and bulky but I was expecting that. Arrived in good condition and has been very useful for additional information surrounding a biological degree programme; From lab skills, field books, poster design and ethics in science it has been very informative to all parts of my studies and has proven to be an invaluable resource for me.
