Summary: THIS BOOK PRODUCES THE "WOW!!" FACTOR
Comment: Amazing book! so friendly, even funny, the graphics are incredible, go deep enough in the subject, still right to the point...and very important, you never lose the track when you are reading, something that is very common in other biology books. It keeps you focus, very high quality; definitely, one of my favorites Biology book. Yes, it's good as a mother! :) I love this book!!

Summary: Probably the best general biology book out there
Comment: I used this text for AP Biology.
The text itself has a kind of "science textbook" feel to it. The margins are very narrow top, bottom, left, and right. There is a great deal of very informative text with a few pictures to complement.
The text is organized very well. The first chapter lists the core themes of biology according to the authors, and even late in the text the authors try to stick to these themes.
You'd be hard pressed to say that there was some general information missing from this. It is detailed.
The only minor annoyance is that it may be too detailed. The AP exam in biology will definitely not cover all or even most of the fifty-two chapters.
I treated this text more as an encyclopedia than as an actual "read it" textbook. For the AP exam, I used Cliffs. If I had a question that required more clarification, or if I was simply interested, I referred back to this and it gave me the answer.

Editorial Reviews:

The Sixth Edition of BIOLOGY by Neil Campbell and Jane Reece builds upon the earlier versions' dual goals to both help readers develop a conceptual appreciation of life within the context of integrating themes, and to inspire readers to develop more positive and realistic impressions of science as a human activity. <P>The authors have thoroughly updated each of the book's eight units to reflect the existing progress in our understanding of life at its many levels, from molecules to ecosystems. Examples of updated content include the Human Genome Project, the revolution in systematics, HIV as a research model in evolutionary biology, the role of cell-signaling pathways in plant responses, new frontiers in neurobiology, and experimental approaches that are advancing ecology. To assure accurate representation of each field of biology, a team of stellar specialists has worked with the authors in updating every unit. <P>An innovative design breakthrough ensures that the art is as current as the content. Guided Tour diagrams explicitly guide readers through the more challenging figures, succinctly explaining key structures, functions, and steps of processes within the figure, reducing the need to look back and forth between legend and art. It's as if an instructor were looking over the reader's shoulder and clarifying each part of a figure! Guided Tour commentary is set in blue, making it easy to differentiate these explanations from ordinary labels and keeping the figure itself clear and uncluttered. For college instructors and students.
