5.0 out of 5 stars Tailored to the Syllabus, 2 Oct 2003
This book is a definate essential for anyone taking a biology AS/A2 course. It goes into the depth needed for any topic needed covered, and then exceeds that amount to get you the extra grade. When I was asked to write an essay about membranes, the book had 6 pages dedicated to explainin every aspect of the structure and functions, including deatlaied diagrams, and brief summaries. It is not a study guide or revision book, but more of a course encyclopedia. It suffices for all background reading needed. What I found useful was that it included many micrographs from different microscopes. This is essential as it is an important skill to be able to interpret them. Universities tend to ask you to interpret them during interviews, and with the extra knowled given by this book, it will come much more naturally. This book is specially recommened if you are planning on continuing onto medicine, as the level of depth will keep this book an essential back up to any advanced course. The book is however in Black and White, which is fine if you don;t have a problem with learning from that, though can be quite tiresome when much background reading is needed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb and invaluable work., 7 Sep 2002
By Mr. Nathan Thomas (Northamptonshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Despite its somewhat unwieldy size, this is an oracle of Biological Science. It is suitable for both broad topic-based reading or, thanks to its comprehensive index, speedy consultation of specific points. The plentiful diagrams and tables are particularly valuable for their clarification and reinforcement of the accompaning text, which is lucid and fluent. However, the excellence of this book stems primarily from the accuracy, depth and relevance of the information it contains. 'Biological Science' is pitched at exactly the right level for serious A level study and beyond. I found the extra information one can glean from this text invalubale for convincing an examiner that one has done enough 'background reading' to merit a high grade (A with 98% overall). The book is also an essential text for those students taking the Advanced Extension Award (AEA) in Biology and Biology (Human).
I unresevedly and warmly recommend 'Biological Science' to students, teachers, and all those who are interested in science.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well presented summary of the basics - ideal for Access, 11 Feb 2000
Tthe book is well laid out, each chapter divided into sections and each 'point' within the sections numbered making finding the facts you require simple. The text is pleasant to read and the figures clear and relevant. I have been able to find specific facts without too much effort or to sit and read through a chapter as appropriate. As a mature student on a science Access to H.E. course I would recommend this book to students on similar courses.
