5.0 out of 5 stars Best Biology Book Ever Written Jan 4 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
For the money you can't beat Steven Daniel Garber's biology book, "Biology: A Self-Teaching Guide." He has done what virtually no one has ever been able to do. Explain biology in clear, succinct, beautiful brushstrokes that actually get each and every important concept and term across to both the casual reader and the frantic student trying to cram before the next exam. Garber has a knack for telling a story. Any story. Be it about insect blood or about impulses traveling down a nerve cell. He only says what the reader must know. No frills. But he always says it beautifully. In a manner that actually makes this book hard to put down. Now tell me the same thing about another biology book in the history of the world. I'll bet you can't. He's the best technical writer ever. And I mean ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to learn, great reference for college biology Sep 4 2004
By tom23 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I found this book to help me to clarify the concepts learned in my biology textbook. Cell biology, Evolution, Origin of Life and Animal Physiology were explained with simple language. It was actually more enjoyable to read then my textbook. What I really found outstanding was the following which I got on amazon--

The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Volume 1 isbn;1933023007, Volume 2 isbn; 1933023015, Volume 3 isbn; 1933023023)

These 3 study guides had similar questions to my college biology exams. Well worth the investment because it made my studying much more effective.

When I decided to go back to school for nursing! I really needed to prepare, in advance, before I got into a class where credit counted! I studied this book for the past 4 months in anticipation of a class I am taking in the Fall. I feel very prepared as a result of this book.
