Immerse In Campbell Biology (9th Edition) Edited By Jane B. Reece Accessible As Hardcover

glad I'm done with college Bio, Can't wait for Bionext semester I got this book for National Biology Olympics, My instructor always reminded me this is a key book but I just thought this book doesn't cover the subjects that Olympics require many more details, However I followed her advice or maybe I just enjoyed the book, This book provides you critical thinking skills about global health issues such as the problem of flu pandemics, Thalidomide drugs, legal issues, social affects etc, and solutionoriented approach on these issues, The drugs based on artificial compounds and its affects on neural systems, I still think about it, It's not also only biology, it is about EVERYTHING, If we get a very well understanding about cell structure, we may be inspired to build architectural out resistant systems, If we know about the energy mechanism in human body, in animals, plants or in nature, we may be able to create sustainable energy resources, Disciplines also need to be more connected since world is being more connected, It doesn't matter what your major is, this book helps you to understand things better and develop your problem solving skills, Campbell's Biology is an EXTREMELY incredible book,

Even if you know NOTHING about biology, but you are interested in biology the book will make it possible for you to master all the concepts to create a firm basis.


If you are already a student of biology it will help you crystallize what you already know, it will help you give your knowledge a good structure and refresher course.


Everything is explained extremely well, The questions at the end of chapters help you test your mastery of the topics, The illustrations are very informative and awesome,

Can't recommend this book enough, A must have for every biologist and layman alike, currently working from my home office my brother's desk and he has his certificate for finishing AP bio and it reminded me that i can put this on goodreads because i legit read this entire thing.
COVER TO COVER i read EVERY CHAPTER and for WHAT WHAT valid reason did they hve to make us to that, . . blood sweat and tears and i got a B and still nightmares even afteryears Low key only got through the firstchapters in time for that AP test This is the book that got me to the semifinals of the USA Biology Olympiad.
That I did not progress further is user error the authors of this superb text certainly held up their part of the bargain,

As a textbook, it getsstars, This isn't just a biology textbook, it's the biology textbook I can see how it has achieved its reputation, It can double as exercise equipment, is part encyclopedia, and is overpages, but it still manages to feel concise and approachable, The authors/editors were also somehow able to achieve a remarkable consistency of style it feels like a single person wrote the entirety of this massive tome, The style itself is lucid, engaging, and, most of all, intelligent the authors clearly care about linguistic precision, something which many scientific types seem to neglect, See MIT's freshman composition course, In fairness, I have noticed that biologists' writing skills seem to be generally superior to those of scientists of other disciplines, Anectodal evidence may be statistically insignificant, but I know what I've observed,

I'm giving itbecause I reserve mystar ratings for undisputed, canonical classics of world science and literature, Biology is not such a book, but neither could it be, What is it A splendidly written, encyclopedic, definitive, and even enjoyable introductory textbook which gave me an outstanding education in the essentials of the life sciences, I will return to it often, Lacking mobility, plants must be adapted to their environment in other ways, p.Reference for life. read a sizable chunk of this maybe like half

mmm just mediocre but not bad
i liked how the sections were organized but bonus points because its bio
learned some cool new things!
clear and concise and explained things well
would sometimes find myself falling asleep though so,

also one of my bio profs wrote this so hi chris moyes

lol i forgot to update this right after my bio exam so this is a tad late I wasn't going to review Biology by Neil A.
Campbell, because well
. It's ubiquitous.
. I studied from the sixth edition in high school for Biology AP and the eighth edition for firstyear Biology, and while I read it, there were definitely places I didn't because I didn't have to or didn't want to or I fell asleep or I briefly wanted a social life.

. Where the hell do I get off thinking I am expert enough to review a firstyear textbook about biology

But then, I remembered:
, Until those freesource online textbooks gain userfriendliness and traction against the capitalist beast that is the textbook system, it will remain ubiquitous, And boy, is that rant about the abuses of the textbook business long, offtopic, and totally for another day,
. That means I spent two years with it, and if nothing else learned via idea diffusion while my head rested on its glossy pages because I got an A grade average.
Idea diffusion is college student urban myth that is going to be proven any year now, just you wait and see,
. What else is education for than to teach you that you know nothing

In short, I like it, actually, Even if the prose gets unwieldy at times, and the layout gets overwhelming, . . there's always a beautiful picture of a tentacly nautilus I can doodle into my notes or an interview with scientist who gets grants to give IQ tests to ants or something on the next page.


Can't hurt to get in that mythical volumes edition though your back will probably thank me,

Also my prickly secondquarter Biology professor had a signed edition with him always, That level of respect has got to mean something, Rating:.One of the best biology textbooks, reading through it is very easy and the language is pretty simple, I studied this in my first year of university and now years later I'm going back to it for some basics.

I highly recommend it, OK, so I haven't read the entirepages, I've ONLY read therelated to the course I'm teaching the first three units, but this is a very well written text, they explain rather complex biological processes in a simple and logical progression and manner.
Out of the openingchapters my only issue is that they don't consider prokaryotes to have a cytoskeleton, But, on the plus side they treat prokaryotes very well in other sections, such as transcription/translation, making accurate uptodate points and giving archaea their due too, I was particularly impressed with how succinct and comprehensible the metabolism chapters are, Figures are among the best I've seen in a text though I haven't seen many General Bio texts in many years to be honest, hope this will be the last time i have to read this textbook

i was struggling to pay attention and absorb information in class, so it was helpful to read the textbook on concepts that i wasn't confident in! presented in a very clear way

some spelling errors lol

wrote my midterm yesterday and i think it went well :/do not recommend taking AP bio Üniversitenin ilk senesinde aldığım ve biyolojiyi resmen çocuk oyuncağına çeviren kitap.
Her konu hakkında bir başlık var ve İngilizcesi o kadar basit ki rahatlıkla çalışılabilecek bir kitap,

İçinden çıkan kartta online derslere de katılabiliyordunuz ben aldığımda, umarım o uygulamayı geliştirmişlerdir,

carrying my hkust course Samozrejme, takmerstrán anglickej biológie som určite neprečítala, A je to vlastne niečo ako učebnica, no čerpám z nej informácie, takže by asi bolo blbé zaradiť ju do toread, keď ju súvisle od začiatku do konca nikdy čítať nebudem.
Každopádne, je to skvelá učebná pomôcka pre štúdium biológie a myslím si, že poslúži aj tým, ktorí sa len tak zaujímajú o biologiu.
Je to prehľadné, angličtina je prístupná a odborná názvy sme vlastne väčšinou prebrali z angličtiny, takže nie je problém porozumieť im a množstvo farebných ilustrácií to všetko len umocňuje.
Odporúčam! As far as college textbooks go, this was my favorite to read and study from, The text is clear, concise, and extremely interesting, After all my classes, I would immediately sell my textbooks for whatever scraps I could gather, but this books still sits on my shelf, For anyone interested in biology, this could be a great read for any student, a must read mainly due to being a required class text, True to its universal acclaim, a very good overview book to get fluent in Bio and honestly having read more advanced texts in certain areas, I could see how the text didn't shy away from very subtly hinting or alluding towards more advanced things.


A very good springboard to further inquiry in Bio,

Also I find it somewhat ironic I read it because in yI halfjokingly made a pact with someone not to do bio or memorization, Oh well Bah. Take the greatest high school bio text ever written, add politics, egos, and personal agendas, stir together with a heavy dash of subjectivity, and voila! Campbell'sth edition,

Theandeditions were fantastic, I bought this one expecting an updated version of the same, . . yikes.

It is no longer intuitive but rather contrived in its layout, pop science pervades, and political hot topics abound, "Biology is the scientific expression of our desire to know nature, We are most likely to protect what we appreciate, and we are most likely to appreciate what we understand, "

It took me more than a year of almost daily reading to finish Campbell Biology, It was time well spent, I might not recommend anyone else to try a similar feat, but reading Campbell Biology from cover to cover definitely increased my understanding and appreciation of nature and science,

Some parts such as the chemical formulas might not interest nonstudents such as myself, but the book is full of interesting details and explanations of the world around and within us.
Science is full of beauty and discovering how our world works can be a surprisingly emotional experience,

Aftermonths of reading, I only have one question: what am I going to do now with all this free time,
