This is my favorite of all my college textbooks, most of which I didn't even keep after the class was over. I purchased it for a 200 level Microbiology course, and read the thing from cover to cover for this class. I referred to it again and again during labs and whenever I felt like I needed more information. It was an EXTREMELY valuable resource, and it was worth every penny I paid for it, and I bought it new! This is one text I really found to be an investment rather than just another college expense. It is totally packed with color illustrations and diagrams; they're on almost every page. The study questions at the end of the chapters are right on target and really help make sure you understand the chapter's focus. I think this would even be good for homeschooling - the topics can be complex, but they are backed up with an excellent glossary and loads of helpful illustrations.
Loaded with information and very diverse!
