I bought this book for a prerequisite I had to take for my MSW program. I got the international edition and so far it has the same information as the North America version. I really enjoy this book because it is written in a simple manner and I am not a "biology" kind of student. I was very afraid of even looking at this book but it is actually an easy read and the book is very comprehensive. Very happy my teacher decided to use this textbook for our Biology class.
I had to buy this book for class, but it's a very awkwardly written book that's very difficult to follow. The author seems to skip around and isn't very clear on the details of anything. Still a valuable resource, but there has to be a better basic biology book out there.
International Versions are the way to go. Saved over $100 buying the International version vs. the RIP-OFF same thing USA version. These publishers should be ashamed of themselves for RIPPING OFF the students in this country. They all deserve what is coming with the changes in technology and electronic versions. The publishers have all been Gouging Students for too long and it now has to stop.
This was a required textbook for my college biology class. I find the textbook easy to follow, and well illustrated.
Basically didn't send the book, and didn't tell me. I am pretty sure he didn't have it in the first place. The week of my first test I requested to know where the book was (because it was 2.5+ weeks late), and he/she didn't even respond and eBay just told me that my money was refunded. The test would have gone a lot better with the book. just a bummer of a situation.
