Biology Coloring Book

Summary: OLD, BUT STILL MANAGEABLE
Review: Despite its figurative shortcomings, this book has a functional approach. It did a good job in integrating and correlating all the physiological processes, which sustain life.
The book was designed for students who are taking biology as an ancillary to first degrees. Hence, it compels its users to understand the importance of careful drawing (and/or painting). Though this may seem irritating in the beginning, it yields dividends in the end.
Students are likely to appreciate its fundamental links to both anatomy and physiology. All the important life processes were discussed. But, the fact that this first edition has not been revised since (its first appearance in) 1986 makes the book a bit obsolete.

Summary: This coloring book for biology is excellent.
Review: I liked coloring in, the important structures in biology. It helped me to remember the concepts better. I also used Patrick Leonardi's "The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations" Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3. These study guides were great for test preparation because these were the similar questions asked on my college biology exams. I also found the biology coloring book to have great sections on DNA, Genetics, Ecology, Biology of Plants, Biology of Animals, Human Biology, Reproduction and Development. This is an excellent visual. This four books are extremely helpful for college biology.

Summary: Good for a high school biology teacher
Review: I ordered this coloring book knowing that it was geared toward students more advanced than mine. Although I'm a certified high school biology teacher, I choose to teach 6th and 7th grade middle school students. For middle school students, I believe that atleast 1/4th of this book can be used - which is good considering it has 111 coloring pages (plates). For a high school biology teacher, I believe that 3/4ths or more of this book can be utilized. Still, for the price I paid for it, as being "like new", I feel the pages that I can use with middle school students is a bargain.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: My high school biology student and I were ready to color but this is more a textbook than a coloring book. The picture on the outside of the book looks much more defined than the pictures in the book. There was a LOT of coloring in letters and numbers, and you need a VERY fine line marker to do it. You're supposed to read the text page on the left to discover how to color the picture on the right. We expected better pictures - like the one on the front of the book, and less text to wade through. Wish I'd gotten the Gray's Anatomy coloring book instead.
