Biology For Dummies (For Dummies Series)

Just what I needed

Very informative, love it. Will provide me with many hours of reading. Written in a way that you dont feel like youre reading a text book. Quirky and funny at times, it is an entertaining read as much as it very useful if you're revising, refreshing your memory or learning a new thing.

仕事の関係で英文の生物学テキストを読む必要があったのですが、私は、生理的に生物の「外見以外？の写真」に激しく反応する方で、そのようなテキストは、二度と開くことができません。それで、そのような写真のない英文テキストを探し求めてやっとこのテキストに行き当たりました。すなわち、このテキストの最大のメリットは、記載が簡潔でから総華的でありながら、欧米の生物関係テキストによくある、あの鮮明で気持ちの悪い写真が皆無ということにつきます。したがって私と同じ、生物写真アナフィラキシーの方にお勧めです。

I am a psychologist who studied biology in 1963-64 and 1964-65. My hobby is Saltwater aquarium keeping. I needed to learn some state of the art biology to apply it to my hobby. I read this book from cover to cover and many things that I had in my unconscious mind were refreshed. I learned other things like actualized DNA concepts and many others that I had never heard of. What I really liked about the book is the way it presents new concepts. It is easy to read, easy to understand and presents it’s subject matter in a progressive way, from easier necessary concepts to more difficult ones. I liked the book a lot. Congratulations to the authors.Ferdinand Acevedo Ph.D.

This book is great for everybody who has to pass a general biology class in college and has only limited background information from school. I passed a Geobiochemistry class just fine and got all the information I needed about DNA, Evolution and Cell Organization from this little yellow book. It's really one of my favourite books that I bought for uni.The chapters are quite short and fast to read without missing important information. There are also plenty of useful "Remember"-sections, in which the quintessence of the chapter or section is descrided shortly.I would recommend this book to anybody who takes Bio 101 and wants a cheap book with all the information and also a joke every other page.
