Essentials of The Living World

I am not a science major, by any means. Hey, I just need the class to become an interior designer. The book is definately not high school material. It is written on college level and meant for higher intellect. Considering my background, this means I must read and re-read this book to understand it. However, once I got going, I have to admit, it is quite interesting. I think I may learn something from it, after all! Well, gotta go. I have to read chapter 7!

Thank you

We recieved this book quickly and in really good shape. So my daughter has been using it for her Vet Tech class and it was alot cheaper than the one the school offered. So that helped out alot!! Again Thank you. Cherie

Outstanding

The book arrived on time and was brand new. It was well worth the price.

Awesome!

This was a really excellant text book! Compared to other biology texts, this was easily understood and was explained very clearly, very helpful to understand for people who do not enjoy science subjects like me!!

Great book

This is a great book: very easy to read, and contains plenty of information for introductory biology. In addition, it has a free website that comes with the book, and contains lots of helpful quizzes, study guides, videos, etc. A wonderful book!
