Human Biology

by Beverly McMillan, Beverly McMillan

The Fifth Edition of Starr and McMillan's best-selling HUMAN BIOLOGY is designed to help students understand human biology by engaging them in learning in every way possible. The book's extensive array of multimedia resources enriches the book's hallmark features: unique visuals on every page, applications in every chapter that show how human biology is inextricably linked to everyday life, and activities and resources throughout the book that encourage critical thinking. Segments on the FREE accompanying interactive CD-ROM, as well as the CNN Today Videos, Web links, and reading from the InfoTrac College Edition library are all integrated with the text to support, illuminate, and reinforce the text. Starr and McMillan's visuals work hand in hand with the authors' clear writing. Each basic concept appears as a one- or two-page Concept Spread. This format helps students focus on information in manageable easy-to-understand segments. Main points are laid out clearly, summarized, and reinforced by visuals. The carefully written transitions between Concept Spreads help students grasp how each concept fits into the whole story of the remarkable human body.

Whether I get A+ or not in this book I can say that this book is amazing !
It has a good way for explain things and a lot of interesting things :D.

NOTE : I haven't read all the chapters. But I think what I have read is enough to rate this book

It was a biology book for school. What can I say? I suck at biology, and I still do, no offense to this book. It was okay.

It is really good, the way its way of talking about the subjects makes it so much easier for the reader to understand and it also have nice introductions for every chapter so i would've gave it 5 stars though it has some mistakes which need to be corrected like the ones in the chapter that's talking about cell division.
Over all it is a special book.

Not my favorite text book. I find it hard to follow at times, and it is not easy to remember what I've read in this book. I do, however, like that the authors try to explain the topics in an easy, laid back way. Hard to do, because it is such a technical topic.
