Biology Made Easy: An Illustrated Study Guide For Students To Easily Learn Cellular & Molecular Biology

A perfect review for me, a person who used to tutor biology but is now 73.

My grandson loves this book on biology

I wanted to learn more about cellular biology because of the corona virus. Unfortunately on page 20 the author stated that Darwin published his famous work in 1958, obvious error,1858-59. Shortly therafter he states that the presence of more dark peppered moths during aperiod of heavy soot,and later more light peppered moths in low soot conditions is proof of evolution of a new species. Completely erroneous. They are both peppered moths,not new species. The theory of evolution suggests new species takes eons of time. If they dont understand the basics and misrepresent the simple principles why would I go further, that is why I read the last chapter and disqualified my review.I may go back and read about virus reproductive mechanisms and maybe learn more about the vaccine mechanisms. I gave it a four rating so as not to insult the obvious knowledge and education the author possesses. More editing needed.

Helps you understand the basics of biology …. If you’re taking biology for the first time

This book spends too long on simple things, and too little time explaining clearly the difficult, IMHO. And in some places, makes errors that could have been picked up by better editing. For example, on page 52, it says, "All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and neutrons." "Neutrons" should be replaced by "electrons." For someone newly coming to this material, this could be seriously confusing.Or on page 62, one finds "The dotted line between the bases in the middle are where these hydrogen bonds are located." But there are no dotted lines, and, worse, the concept of "bases" hasn't been introduced yet. The subsequent discussion of protein folding, and the forces which determine protein shape, is sketchy and confusing.In the next paragraph, we get, "the oxygen atoms and the hydrogen atoms on the amide parts of the protein..." But there has been no definition, or explanation, or even mention, of an "amide," prior to this sentence.

Brought as a gift for great grandson, who is interested in biology. I skimmed through the book, it was easy for me to read. Just not sure about a 12 yo.

The book was easy to understand and well written and illustrated.

Mis niños de high school les encantó están súper contento con su libro de biología ❤️ me encanta que quieran aprender mucho
