Product description
Review
This must rate as one of the best and most comprehensive GCSE Biology books currently available. The author has written AS and A-level Biology texts and clearly not only knows his subject, but can put it across well to readers. With this being the third edition, it has all the advantages of previous editions being refined, improved and new material being added. Thoroughly recommended. (Journal of Biological Education)

Better than I remember
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2013Verified Purchase
I used this book as a teenager, when I saw the updated version I was impressed and being a teacher I am making full use of it - it has details which is often lacking in many of the standard texts and the diagrams are clear and memorable. This book is worth having as a useful reference for biology at GCSE and even beyond.

Brilliant Book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2013Verified Purchase
This product was perfect for me. It helped greatly with my work within class and for homework when I was at home. It has also greatly helped me when I wrote an essay on the nervous system.
