This book is a great help. Any class (Either AP or Regular Biology) taught out of Campbell's Biology is going to be tough. This book breaks down long, often tedious chapters into straight foward sections. Also there are many practice questions at the end of each mini-chapter and the answers are in the back. (This is good for your grade, 'cause teachers often give you worksheets with these same questions on them! Hahaha) The only problem is that sometimes the chapters are too abridged and you miss out on something important, so I still recommend reading the real chapters---but if your in a pickle and their is only 15 minutes until class, just read the study book. Enjoy!
Made me love nature and biology even more. I especially liked the interviews with the scientists who had all kinds of interesting lives. It made me want to be a scientist. It's like any subject, where the more you dig into it the more layers you find, and you realize you could probably spend a lifetime studying biology. Beautiful textbook though.
This book is not book but books. If is really a book you can use for years and years it was my book when I started my undergraduate studies and till now after my graduation I still need it.
It is unique because it is a basic and also, a reference at the same time for all biological sciences.
It cover biochemistry, genetics , microbiology , ecology ... Etc
