Book Reviews of Biology with MasteringBiology? (8th Edition)
Book Review: 3-peat
Summary: 3 Stars
Good information for a general Biology book, finally caught up to Levine/Miller by 6th Edition.
I have an predecessor to this book from early 1990s: "The World of the Cell." Co-Authored by Reece (Read the acknowledgments. The books reference each other.) Campbell "Biology" is a much better book than "World of the Cell" overall, but I miss the access to detailed explanation, especially the bridge between Molecular Biology and BioChem that World of the Cell offered. In "Biology," Respiration & Photosynthesis ETC reactions are described as RedOx & electron transfer, and then every reaction drops the electrons. This is challenging for a student that never had Biology (home school, &/or opted for other sciences in HS). It's also difficult to gain respect for the field when an 18yr old teen who has had high school Chemistry can't understand why Biology PhDs "can't" do simple stoichiometry.
I'm frustrated with the new edition every semester trend. It's artificially driving up the price & making it difficult for avg students to recover any of their expenses. Neill Campbell passed away by the 7th edition. Certainly, other contributors have made discoveries, but perhaps the publisher or remaining author(s) could wait a full year or two between editions to compile, edit, & peer-review? Are thousands of books really useless after one semester?
