Customer Reviews

Finally a biology book that great!
This book has all the information you need, plus quick recaps of GCSE work to keep you on track and extra information relating to current issues. It's colourful with good diagrams and is well set out so it's quite easy to find what ever you are looking for. Like all other book it's got practice questions (recent ones!) and a cool website to accompany the book in case you are really stuck. Great book - not too much nitty gritty detail but enough to get you through the course! I loved this book.
