Supports and motivates you as you learn to think like a biologist.

Building upon Scott Freeman’s unique narrative style that incorporates the Socratic approach and draws you into thinking like a biologist, the Fourth Edition has been carefully refined to motivate and support a broader range of learners as they are introduced to new concepts and encouraged to develop and practice new skills. Each page of the book is designed in the spirit of active learning and instructional reinforcement, equipping novice learners with tools that help them advance in the course―from recognizing essential information in highlighted sections to demonstrating and applying their understanding of concepts in practice exercises that gradually build in difficulty.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this text!
Reviewed in the United States on 19 January 2013

I've only been using this book for 2 weeks and I already enjoy it, which is a big thing to say for a textbook. The last general bio book I had was full of information that drowned out the overall point each section within the chapter was trying to bring. It was full of biochem and technical talk that wasn't needed for this level of class.

Freeman's book brings a refreshing approach to writing about biology. Each chapter and section within each chapter, provides the student with the "meat and bones" of what they need to know. It's not hard to comprehend the take home message and to see how each little component adds up to make a larger component. This book has made me love biology again and understand why I returned to school. Good job Scott Freeman!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book (but don't buy the accompanying study guide)
Reviewed in the United States on 3 September 2011

I just took BIO 180 at the University of Washington for which this book was required. I have to say that although this was an expensive book, it is more than worth the money dropped. You can use it for all of the introductory Biology courses (180, 200, 220) and it's also a great book for satisfying personal curiosities about other topics in biology.

The best part about this book is that it is impeccably organized and thorough. You will not get lost in dry, confusing blocks of text and there are chapter summaries which are great to include in your notes. I used the book extensively for the course that I took. As I continue through the series I will definitely hold onto this book.

One quick note: the study guide is virtually a repetition of the chapter summaries and was not that helpful, so don't waste money on that. :o)

I was suppose to buy a newer edition of this book for one of my collage classes, but this one is only different buy a few page numbers the rest of the information is the same. Buying the saved over 100 dollars getting this edition. Never buy a newer edition if you can avoid it because you save a ton of money. You will do a little bit of looking if you our trying to find something but it isn't that hard. buy this edition and go and spend the money you save on something you would like you will fill so much better at the end of the day.

The book arrived in good condition, however the only the only I was a little annoyed about was that the binding on the side of the book looked like someone accidentally took a knife and trying to cut open the box the book was in. The book is still usable and the pages don't look like they're going to fall apart or anything but it would have been nice if I was told that I was getting a book like that because i wouldn't of have had a problem with it since I know what I getting for the price I paid which was $5 for a used one. Other than that I would recommend it to anybody trying to save money on books, PS this 4th edition is almost the same exact thing as the 5th edition. So if you wanna save money, buy an older edition.

Reviewed in the United States on 25 November 2018

I had to purchase this book for intro biology in college. Overall it was an easy read with great explanations. The chapters are short enough to keep you engaged, but get the information across succinctly. I'm sure more updated versions are being used in today's classroom, but this would still be a great refresher or introduction book to biology. Just understand that biological advancements happen everyday and because of that certain information in the book will be outdated.
