same exact book as the previous edition!
By A10JPLCSKEB436 on 2008-09-06
I was assigned the 6th edition of this book at Palomar, and since that one cost $100 i figured i'd buy the previous 5th edition (for $10! woo!)
I compared both editions (borrowed a friend's 6th ed), and the book is basically the same. Except some of the pictures are a little different, and the sentence structure is different in some sections (but contains the same ideas in the same order)
Save yourself some money, just buy the previous editions for all your textbooks. Don't fall into the scam that is higher education. Ever notice how they assign books that your school's teachers wrote too? Such a big scam!
Not a very good text
By A22LJWFDJMY46N on 2010-03-01
This text is not impressive. The book is light on information but heavy on redundant (and often bad) analogies. The layout is fine, but the writing uses superfluous examples that are irrelevant to the understanding of biological concepts. Moreover, the authors routinely begin sentences with "And" and use incomplete sentence structures, which can be very distracting during reading.
I'm terribly unimpressed; I wish my biology class used a better edited text because this one is not well written.
it was a a book with good condition.. as stated to web page..
By A3U9AZ5CSOH01F on 2009-10-08

By A20NZ9ITC0HFY3 on 2009-10-05
it came fast, and the description was right on point. the shipping expense was not too expensive and was wrapped excellent.
Not an easy read, but great lay-out, chapter reviews, etc.
By A3AF67R0O4HPJ2 on 2009-06-26
Biology: Concepts and Connections (6th Ed) is NOT an easy read, but it has key terms in bold throughout, and really good review sections at the end of each chapter. These and other thoughtful organizational features help make difficult concepts a little easier to understand. My book arrived in the exact condition indicated ("like new"), and I have had a wonderful experience buying books through Amazon so far!

The book was exactly as advertised. It was in perfect condition, with inserts and all. MUCH cheaper then my college bookstore. Great buy.
- Company Lives up to what they say
By A27VCNHKTNX4P2 on 2010-02-08
The book arrives new, shrink wrapped and with access code not used it is still covered up. Just understand that it is coming from Puerto Rico I believe and can take up to the full 7 days to arrive like mine did. However I am extremely happy with this book and company, definitely saved money and plan on using them in the future. Thanks
- Best Bio Book Ever
By A15I94A5JAMKA6 on 2009-10-06

This book is great for BIO I be sure to use the web site included in the book for better study info.
- Perhaps one of the most poorly written Bio books?
By A2SJPYI8YCUMID on 2009-07-10
Each chapter I believe is written to scale up in detail. It ends up being a frustrating mess that you have to sort through. I felt I spent way to much time trying to understand the rediculous analogies. It would of been easier to just explain the reactions out right.
- Great Biology Book
By A3FC4IG9Y3RXRZ on 2008-09-21
This book was a good deal because at my school they sell it for about $150. The book is hardcover and has a passcode that can be used online to study better.
- Magical
By AQZ0GQYIJBJP8 on 2009-09-23
Just wonderful. I asked for a used book in good condition and that is what I got. I even got full use of the original product key for online use!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for saving me that much needed couple bucks. I had to sell my car to buy the rest of my books but every penny counts. Thanks again

I was very pleased with my Biology book purchase from Amazon. It was brand new and shipped in less than five days. Having never purchased text books on line, I was happy with the selection of retailers and prices. I will definately do it again.

By A1OWEIB22SVB7H on 2009-08-30
I ordered this book a month before i absolutely needed it and i never recieved it. the seller did reemburst me immediatley after i contacted her but it was very frustrating to not have a book the entire 1st week of class.
- Amazing Condition.
By A1K8Y17XK2HD69 on 2009-06-25
I was so pleased with the book I recieved. There was a bent corner, not big enough to see. No writing in the book or highlight. Still has CD ROM that came with it. Amazing Condition!
- Good deal
By A2OGFBKRSPRAZD on 2009-06-15
I actually didn't expect my purchased item to be shipped that early because it a different shipping date altogether. But I really love my book. It's the best deal I've ever had. I recommend the seller to anyone looking for a good deal.
Thanks a lot Sonia.

By A25XXNNHG8928X on 2009-02-05
I bought it but it wasn't in the same condition that they had said, so they refunded me my money and they never sent the book. I am glad that they were honest!!!

- Excellent
By A1H7270P9PW26H on 2008-09-02
I received this book in the time I expected and it was in excellent condition. I am very pleased.
- Not What i Ordered
By A2HUO19T1LCKEJ on 2008-10-29
The person selling the book deliberately put the wrong information in so when I got the book a few days from my class start date, it was not the correct book. I ordered the 6th edition but she sent the 4th edition so I had to turn around and pay much more for the textbook from the school bookstore. The seller had an attitude with me, telling me I should have ordered the right book. I sent her my reciept showing what I ordered. Amazon took care of giving me a refund but I still wound up paying more to send the book back. I paid postage to get it to me as well as to send it back. It would have been better for me to just go to the bookstore and purchase it.
