 AP Biology Class January 7, 2009
This is a great book with lots of info. A friend loaned us an older version of this book, which made me decide to get this version for my son's AP Biology class. It helped him a lot, since the book chosen by the school was not really as good for an AP Class. As a Biologist myself, I recommend this book to anyone who will dedicate the time to study the book. It is not an easy book, but it is very good. It has plenty of information, maybe a lot more than needed for an AP Class, but very good foundation for someone who shoots for a career in the areas of biology or Medicine.
 More biology than you ever wanted to know December 17, 2008
I use this book in AP biology. It is colorful, very informative, and goes in depth for an intro biology book. However while very comprehensive it is often a tedious proposition to read through a chapter, as it is not very entertaining and the enormous amount of material presented in each chapter is difficult to swallow.
The CD can still work September 24, 2008
Just in case you bought one with CD, the CD installation software starts with Windows IE4 software installation. It would not work on most of the computers nowadays. However, the activities and quizzes are still valuable. They are in html format which can be opened with the latest Windows IE version or another internet browser such as Firefox. Just skip the installation software and open \home\home.htm file on the CD directly with the browser. Here is what I did in Windows XP, go to My Computer and click on View, Explorer Bar, Folders. Open the folder under your CD/DVD drive and drill down to "home" folder and double click to open home.htm. It should open automatically via the internet browser.
 College Standard June 16, 2008
This book set the bar for general bio classes. I've seen this text used in high school AP bio classes as well as many college bio classes. It is well organized and provides an great explanation for things you need to understand. The picture help to further understanding.
This is the book other biology texts want to be when they grow up March 8, 2008

Hands down, Campbell's Biology is the most beautifully written and illustrated biology textbook on the market and has remained so through many, many editions. I am a plant biologist and was pleased to see that even at the introductory level, this book gave plant life equal prominence with animal biology. If you want to fall in love with biology, this is the text to get you there. Campbell and Reese accompanied me through freshman biology, every upper level undergrad and graduate biology course I took, and finally served as an indispensable reference when studying for my qualifying examinations. I don't currently teach intro bio, but if and when I do, Campbell and Reese will lead my selections for the textbook.
On more practical matters for the potential book buyer--While it is fantastic to have the most up-to-date edition, we are talking intro bio here. So you really can't go wrong by grabbing a discount copy of the sixth edition and hanging onto it for dear life. Every edition of this text is worthy of a place in your permanent collection. And it is heads and shoulders above a crowded field of competitors. Couldn't offer any higher praise than this.
