 "biology made simple!!!" 2009-10-08

By B. Garber

My uncle is the author of this book, and he gave me a copy, and it helped me a whole hell of a lot in my Biology class! It cut things down right to the point and the vocab words with the quizzes were actually fun to do! I love this book!!!!!!!

 

 "Easy to learn, great reference for college biology" 2004-09-04

By tom23 (Washington, USA)

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.

 

 "Best Biology Book Ever Written" 2004-01-04

By

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.

 

 "Biology: A Self-Teaching Guide" 2002-12-20

By

Clear, succinct, explains everything really well. I wish all my texts were this easy to understand.

 

 "Not a good survey of the material" 2000-04-04

By

Do not be misled by the generally high quality of Mr. Garber's previous work. The "self-teaching" guide is more vocabulary list than textbook. Critical missing features include (a) some notion of life as _process_ rather than a lengthy list of elements of cell anatomy, (b) poikilothermy appears in end-of-chapter questions, but the text does not compare it with homeothermy in any useful way, (c) comparative anatomy illustrations are not drawn to scale, making it difficult to make appropriate comparisons. The vocabulary lists and end-of-chapter multiple choice questions would save a first-year teaching assistant some time preparing for classes for non-majors. The book is not much help in acquiring a general understanding of the basic science.

 "DO NOT BUY THIS EDITION (newer edition available)" 2010-01-04

By Y. Lu (Berkeley, CA)

This is great biology textbook with thorough explanations and helpful images. A plurality of high schools and universities will use this book for its core biology classes, making it a great resource even after the class(es) is over.



However, there is a newer 8th edition, so PLEASE either buy that edition new/used or this one used (which is actually very cheap comparatively).

 "take care" 2009-11-01
By Michael Beloved (Brooklyn NY)
If you do not know some html, this book has little value.

It is great otherwise.

 "Needs major updating" 2009-07-31
By Margaret I. Carr (California)
Many references in the book to a kit supposedly available at GeoCities. Maybe it was.



Contact the author? Well the blog is still there but hasn't been updated since October 2 last year.



Some typos but nothing that wasn't obvious what was really meant.



It does gather info together that might take a few hours of searching to find. Probably useful for Kindle owners wanting to get their own writing up in the Kindle store.

 "Phenomenal (For a STRONG chemistry student)" 2009-09-28
By Christopher P. Olsen
First of all i want to say that Zumdahl is fantastic. I love his work and his textbooks.



Chemical principles is a rigorous and through college entry level chemistry textbook. It assumes a slight amount of previous knowledge of the material, but even without it, a mind designed for chemistry would have no problem learning from this textbook.



I find that many people are complaining about its difficulty because of the subject matter, not the book itself. This is not Zumdahl's chemistry, it is Chemical Principles, an honors level textbook. It is much more quantitative and shows many more derivations than his other textbooks, which for someone like me (a physics major) is absolutely what I look for in a textbook.



Bravo Zumdahl.

 "Not great condition" 2009-09-13
By Leslie (FL)
The textbook took several weeks to arrive, also the book was supposed to be in new condition, however when I got the book the binding was broken and the cover was deeply scratched, so the book was obviously not in new condition. The book took so long to arrive that I went out to a local bookstore and purchased a used book which was in better condition than the "new" book that I purchased from here. Nonetheless, the textbook has arrived and is usuable despite superficial flaws.

 "Thank You" 2009-09-10
By Jordan G. Henry
With college expenses being so high, it was nice to get a cheap textbook compared to the school bookstore prices.

 "Unnecessarily complicated" 2009-01-31
By Ivan Ilych
I transferred to a college which uses this textbook for their chemistry sequence, so I'm able to compare it to the one I used before. This textbook doesn't explain very well. Instead of presenting what's important, the author spends too much time deriving equations, something which first year chemistry students do not need to know. Important equations that are highlighted in my other chemistry textbook were not even highlighted or boxed in Zumdahl. If you have to use this textbook, good luck. If you have a choice or you're self-studying chemistry, stay away from Zumdahl. There are much better options.
