Microbiology essentials.......2007-10-03

I bought this book to study for PCAT, as there is some microbiology on it. i haven't taken any microbiology class in college. But this book is a great way to start. Easy and simple to read covers all the basic facts that i need... Great buy

Microbiology essentials.......2007-10-03

Out of date.......2006-04-16

It has some good general information, but is out of date in several major ways. Does not include any information regarding Domains, poor job describing charactoristics defing bacteria.

Very good reference for microbiology.......2003-08-29

I studied this book for my undergraduate microbiology class. It helped because it got to the point was nice and concise. It focused on some important topics. It is easy to understand and keeps your attention. I also used the following which is on amazon:
Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi
The latter book was very good and a must buy because it helped me to get very good grades on my microbiology tests. Plus, it helped to eliminate some of the surprise questions that my teacher through on the test. I would defintely recommend both books for any undergraduate student taking a microbiology class. Both books are 5 stars.

Book Description

This concise full-color manual is designed for students with minimal background in the physical and biological sciences who are pursuing careers in allied health fields. The 47 laboratory exercises are succinct and often divided into several separate procedures. This allows the instructor to select those exercises or parts that will best meet the needs of a particular program. Laboratories require a minimal amount of equipment, thereby preventing excessive lab costs.

Most awkwardly worded anatomy book I've encountered!!.......2007-09-24

This textbook is supposed to be written for a student who has never had anatomy and going into allied health professional field. The wording and sentance structure is so awkward, redundant, and not clear. Terms are scattered so haphazardly that it can make reading this text a chore. Several members of my anatomy class have discussed how the chapters take so much effort to read and comprehend while the outline at the end of each chapter is crystal clear.

THIS LAB IS FAB.......2001-08-17

I cannot say enough about how well this lab manual is written to coincide with the textbook, Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology. Being one of the most challeging courses I have yet to take, I found this manual a tremendous help, especially with the visuals. The diagrams are fabulous and helped me tremendously to memorize the parts that were crucial on tests. The chapters on dissection were written very clearly and well organized. I found this book to be a great aid in helping me achieve an A average for my class.

Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology.......2000-11-13

This book is an excellent book for beginner students of anatomy. Everything is explained in simple terms. This graphics are superb! I highly reccommend this book for anyone trying to learn anatomy.

Good concise review.......2005-02-06

Being a college student I really liked the format of the book. Being that a shortage of time I experience since I have to prepare for many tests at once, this study guide was on the mark. I found the concise review helpful for studying for my anatomy and physiology exams. If you want great questions for anatomy and physiology test preparation, I highly recommend:
Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations, Volume 1 and Volume 2 by Patrick Leonardi. These two books had great test-preparation questions that geared me to know what to study for the test. It also showed me the surprise type of questions to get ready for. You can't go wrong with these three books.

A&P review.......2000-06-13

This lightweight, protable book stores enough information on the topic of Anatomy and Physiology, allowing a student to supplement their learning. Though I do not reccomend this book as the sole source of reference, I do find it helpful for referencing the basics. The small size allows for a student to carry it with them, therefore allowing them to study at any time and place...no excuses!

Book Description

The authors use evolution as the thematic thread to tie all twenty chapters into a cohesive exploration of life. In Essential Biology, the clarity of writing complements an exciting new art program. The art works hand-in-hand with text discussions to help students visualize difficult concepts. Essential Biology is a brief biology book that brings the authors' extraordinary reputation for biological accuracy and teaching innovation to bear upon four core biological topics: cells, genetics, evolution, and ecology.

Textbook vs Outline.......2007-02-07

Be sure to double check your ISBN numbers to make sure you know what you're getting. I was careless and ended up with this Outline rather than the actual Textbook. The outline having a deceiving title w/ what looks like a typo "2nd Editio" ~ "2nd Edition"
Buyers please be careful w/ your purchases and double check what you're ordering. Personally I found this outline to be useless.

Bio Book.......2005-10-12

I needed this book for college. At the college book store the same exact book was $120.00 plus tax. On Amazon it was $80.00!!

Depth and Accuracy.......2003-03-01

Campbell and Reece are best known as the authors of the hefty and excellent "Biology", now in it's 6th edition used by undegraduate biology majors and AP Biology students.

"Essential Biology" uses a different approach. The authors have packed a great deal into this amazingly small textbook. I recently reviewed a huge number of introductory biology texts for adoption in our school district. We use Campbell and Reece's Biology, 6th edition for our AP biology course but were looking for a textbook to use with our 9th grade honors biology students.

After a lengthy comparison of textbooks we picked "Essential Biology" based on several things. First we found the book to be accurate, readable, and concise. We felt that it would give the students a depth of understanding in the core biological principles so that they would be ready when they moved on to AP biology later in their high school career.

Instead of trying to "cover" everything under the biological sun, "Essential Biology" focuses on four core biological topics: cells, genetics, evolution, and ecology. It's 20 chapters are broken up into these 4 units and does a wonderful job of pulling it all together.

Other textbooks certainly cover more material but with less depth. What is the use of having a huge textbook that the students either never finish or rush through with no real understanding? This is a textbook that the students can dig into and throughly understand during one course.

It is supported by CD-ROM's and on-line material. The website provides activities, on-line labs, quizes, and other practice. Students can print out results or e-mail them to their teachers.
