    This book is HUGE! :) And jam-packed with so much information! I'm a home schooling parent, and I wanted my son to really get an understanding of Biology this year. There are quizzes at the ends of chapters in the book, and from what I understood from reading the first few pages, there is an online companion site that allows the kids to have a more interactive learning experience. My student/son is fifteen years old, so he spends a lot of time on the computer already! So it works out! :) And the shipment arrived super fast. I'm extremely pleased.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best University level textbook on any subject
    Reviewed in the United States on 12 March 2014
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    This is the best college textbook I have read on any subject. I have recently accumulated a bunch of great textbooks on Physics, Chemistry and more specialized subjects. All of these are good. But Biology by Peter Raven is the best!. It is incredibly clear, extremely well-organized, and is just a joy to read. You can almost start any place in the book and understand what the authors are discussing. Every chapter opens up a whole world of biological thought and current biological science.
