One of my favorite books!

This book is very well structured, has wonderful illustrations, pictures, and diagrams. I agree that it is an excellent introductory biology text as it touches base with all facets of the subject.

just excellent

"Biology: The Science of Life" is an extremely valuable guide to a thorough and complete understanding of basic biological concepts. In AP Bio, it not only helped me through the class, but caused me to permanently fall in love with biology. I'd love to meet the authors to thank them in person for this wonderful book. I'll buy it, because it will always offer me a connection to my first, playful, yet professional encounter with biology.

Good...too good....

As a fellow bio student to others I have but only one thing to say, Give me a break!! Do you know how long the book is ?!?!? And do you know how thick this book is?? If you are in AP bio, you have to know every single page by heart ! Ok, honestly, this book is good and probably the best AP bio book there is, just be sure to read this book over the summer to get the information. One test is 60 pages of text in this book. The book is also very comprehensive.

This is THE book to read for beginning biology.

I love this book! It is just the opposite of what most biology books are. It is enjoyable! Throughout the book, I was learning, looking at the beautiful pictures, and laughing. I have yet to see a better, more entertaining non-fiction book. Thank you, Robert A. Wallace, my life has been greatly enriched by the reading of this book.
