Biology

by Robert J. Brooker, Eric Widmaier, Linda Graham

The previous three editions of BIOLOGY , written by Dr. Rob Brooker, Dr. Eric Widmaier, Dr. Linda Graham, and Dr. Peter Stiling , have reached thousands of students and provided them with an outstanding view of the biological world. Now, the fourth edition has gotten even better! The author team is dedicated to producing the most engaging and current text that is available for undergraduate students who are majoring in biology. The authors want students to be inspired by the field of biology and become critical thinkers. They understand the goal of a professor is to prepare students for future course work, lab experiences, and careers in the sciences. Building on the successes of the previous editions, the fourth edition reflects a focus on core competencies and provides a more learner-centered approach. The strength of an engaging and current text is improved with the addition of new pedagogical features that help develop and strengthen critical thinking skills.

No matter how often you read it, it feels like you are reading it all over again.

Useful book. Very big and dense with info. I used what I needed but this would be a good textbook for a college freshman bio class

My textbook for my biology class was this book. Overall, I would say I liked the book, however there were often times were terms were confusing or the book seemed to contradict itself. Coming from a Christian perspective, this book also was very secular and often regarded back to millions/billions of years and evolution in general. There is a ton of information in here though, and if you want a more in depth study for biology this would work well.

Some of the chapters were very illy organized. It would benefit the students if they did a little more presenting the information and a little less contrast and compare. I found the earlier chapters more well written than the latter.

What can I say about this? I’m a science nerd who reads text books? I’m sure science has made new discoveries and evolved since I read this long ago, but it was good then……. If text books are your sort of thing.

I owe my A in biology to this book because lecture was the most confusing thing I ever had to do.
Okay, I hated it at first but then I began to actually understand and it’s not bad for science book once I started understanding biology.
