5.0 out of 5 stars I particularly fell in love with the laboratory simulations

If you really want to start learning about biology, this is the book that you have to study. However, what really impressed me were the online resources available for this book. I particularly fell in love with the laboratory simulations. They were so good that I felt as if I had really worked in a lab.
