Summary: Evolution remains to be demonstrated
Review: 1) Abiogenesis has not yet been demonstrated; 2) the alleged common ancestor has not yet been identified; 3) the mechanism of evolution is still to be determined; 4) vestigial organs have a function after all; 5) junk-DNA has a function after all; 6) the intermediate forms in the fossil record are still missing; 7) the intermediate forms in molecular biology are still missing; 8) there is much evidence of catastrophism in the fossil record; 9) evidence of a global environmental cathaclism several thousand years ago is mounting; 10) Lucy has been proven to be a monkey after all; 11) Neandertals are human after all; 12) the ape-man "line" of evolution is flawed after all; 13) dinossaurs were contemporary of mammals after all; 14) evidence of information, design, irreducible complexity and fine-tuning is overwhelming in astronomy, physics and biology; 15) random evolution is mathematically impossible; 16) simply making thousands of copies of the instructions to make a paper airplane will never get you the instructions of an Airbus A380; 17) developing resistance to antibiothics doesn't add any new genetic information, so it can be said to demonstrate evolution; 18) small variations within species or speciation always rely on pre-existent genetic information, so cannot be said to prove evolution; 19) even if a monkey could randomly type the instructions to build an Airbus A380 it would still take a very intelligent being to realize that and to structure the building process; 20)living and polystratic fossils abound.

These and many other facts only go to show that young readers of this book should be carefull not to accept Kenneth Miller's interpretations of facts as if they were the facts themselves. Kenneth Miller's position on evolution is fairly simple: "I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it, but that's my story and I am sticking to it".

Summary: An Extremely Complete Text
Review: The previous reviewer was complaining about a shipping error, not a comment on the text itself. There is a huge and amazing lab book that goes with the text and that must have been what had been delivered. The book that goes with this ISBN number is a terrific Biology text. I researched several high school biology books, and this is the best I found. The writing is clear and makes difficult concepts easy to understand and the graphics make it easy to read. Add the biology lab book and it makes a complete high school biology program. I would highly recommend this for any homeschooling family.

Summary: Misleading at best!
Review: This is the LABORATORY MANUAL, not the biology text book. There is nothing that I can see in the description to indicate this. .

Summary: Very good bio text.
Review: This text is very complete and goes over all the concepts of biology like five kingdoms, cells and ecology. It is written with the student in mind and a very helpful text. I also used The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations by Patrick Leonardi (Volume 1, 2, 3)
These 3 study guides were very helpful for exam preparation and showed me what I needed to study before the test.
