Review: A++, a must read - Like the other books in the series, at least the ones I've purchased, this is a superb learning tool. This was actually my major in college so I'm more qualified this time to write a review. I think this book covers everything that you need to know in high school biology, generally with the right amount of detail. It covers the body systems well with a chapter devoted to each one. It's pretty good in evolution and reasonable in ecology. I know that publishers put limits on page numbers and so I think that this and the chemistry book waste a couple of chapters in the beginning on more abstract ideas that you really need to learn on the job and not from books. I mean things like broad scientific terminology and lab techniques. I feel this is precious room wasted. For instance the section on genetics is okay but genetics is a really hot topic and the basic concepts should be covered in some detail. As an example, the author only talks about part of the protein synthesis process (transcription) but, except for a quick blurb, he does not mention the rest of the process (translation and the famous picture of the genetic code). Two of the Covid vaccines are pieces of mRNA and the vaccines in these 2 cases are based on the principle of protein synthesis. In fact, as best as I can tell, the process of amino acids joining to become proteins is not explained anywhere, even in the organic molecule section. There, he uses a chart to explain the 4 major organic macromolecules. That's near the beginning of the book and is an important building concept. that requires a somewhat detailed explanation and a few pictures of the structure of the macromolecules. He got back to nucleic acids later on but he did not really get back to the other 3. He might have included a chapter on nutrition and vitamins where some of this stuff could be explained further. Of course, nowadays you can read with your phone next to you and Google any curiosity that you want to so none of these omissions are very crucial. I know you can't include everything so I might be nitpicking a bit. His discussion of atomic structure, the importance of water, and enzymes is very good. The chapters on cellular respiration and photosynthesis are superb and they are difficult subjects. The animal phyla section is super; I think it's a focus of any high school biology course. Overall, this is a really, really good and informative book. This is a book that should be on anyone's shelf, even adults that are really educated in this subject. It's a great read and it's a beautiful book. I highly recommend it.
Review: So helpful - It's really helping supplement a subpar biology teacher. We love this series of books in our home. Everything is explained in a digestible manner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Your Mother’s Text Book
*by S***K on January 30, 2026*

This book has been an asset to my eighth grade granddaughter. It’s not your everyday run of the mill text book. Lots of color and eye catching titles. Easy to use and informative. And it’s not boring! I would recommend it for middle school kids.
