Easy Read
Was an informative easy to read book. I liked how short the chapters were. I wish it had more pictures. Overall I would recommend it as a good quick review of major biology topics. :)

Key Info, Distilled
This book condenses biology basics into easy to read sections that do a great job of building upon one another. It's giving me a foundation for my college classes that I lacked. I read through and took notes, and now when these topics come up in class, I feel like I already understand them.

Captures the basics and beyond, but falls short
Well-done overview with detailed information on biological science studies.Caveats:- Assumes theory of evolution as scientific law (incidentally, popular theory also once held that the Earth was flat!)- Ignores scientific rationale for other viewpoints and editorializes that faith is required for those viewpoints (also ignoring that faith is required for belief in evolutionary theory)Skip the chapter on evolution or at least supplement with other perspectives so that informed, educated information is presented. Expected more even-handed material; the treatment of scientific theory vs. scientific law is damaging to learners and insulting to thinking, rational adults. Otherwise, would recommend this "Essentials for Dummies" book.

Well written and covers the topic
This is a very useful book. I needed to study for a qualifying exam and it gave me all I needed in a straightforward and coherent fashion. Highly recommended.

I passed my class.
I'm an older student who just recently went back to school. The teacher was talking about stuff I had no idea about but pretended to look like I did. Fake it until you make it, and buy this book if you need help. Also ask the teacher for help because that's their job to make sure they teach it so you can understand it. If they don't help then you have this book and you will still pass your test and be awesome.

Great info
I bought this because I needed some basic biology information. Well-organized. Clear explanations. Not too detailed. Easy to dip in and out depending on what you want to learn about.

Pretty easy to read and doesn't get confusing or ramble ...
I used this book as a refresher for my upcoming biology courses. Pretty easy to read and doesn't get confusing or ramble off in different directions. Definitely something to keep handy if you are studying biology.
