Biology? No problem!This Big Fat Notebook is like having notes from the smartest kid in class, it covers everything you need to know during a year of high school Biology class, breaking down one big bad subject into accessible units. This notebook covers biological classification, cell theory, photosynthesis, bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, the human body, plant and animal reproduction, DNA & RNA, evolution, genetic engineering, the ecosystem, and more.Wrapping its arms around a subject that covers everything from life at the molecular level to the entirety of an ecosystem, Biology tackles all the big ideas: biological classification and hierarchy, cell theory, genetics, the human body, evolution, and more. And it does so in that lively, useful, and intuitive way that makes the Big Fat Notebooks so singular and successful: Critical ideas are broken down and clearly explained; doodles illuminate tricky concepts; mnemonics provide memorable shortcuts, and quizzes recap it all. Plus, the author, Matthew Brown, a biomedical engineer and science communicator has an easy, engaging way of bringing even the most complex scientific concepts to life Review: Biology book - It's a very well put together book. A very engaging way to teach children. Review: For basics of biology - This is amazing

Quality and size
Smaller than I expected. Well no worries..the book is good. It's related to the fundamentals. But at some places it should have explained a bit more which it didn't. This may cause confusion and doubts. Talking about the Quality- good. However the book I got was damaged a bit from the oitside(its hardcover I mean) . But that was due to the shipping mistakes.. Overall - A NICE BOOK FOR THE BASICS OF BIO ENTHUSIASTS.

高校の時、生物が嫌いでしたが、こんな教科書・参考書があったら、好きになっていたかも!
この参考書は、「完璧な高校生物スタディガイド---優評価をもらうためのすべて!まるで、クラスのトップの子のノートをカリスマ教師がチェック・補充したような分厚いノート」だとか!特に面白いのは、分類学で、「えー、ほんと?」、「まさか?」、「今はそうなっているのか?」、「半世紀前とは全然違うんだ!」など、驚きの連続です。また、細胞生物学・遺伝学・分子生物学は、最新の知見を取り入れて、大変実用的です。さらに、英文は、平易で自然な口語で、素晴らしい!専門用語以外は、辞書なしでスラスラ読めます。 高校の時、生物が嫌いでしたが、こんな教科書・参考書があったら、好きになっていたかも!全編一気に読み通しました。ありがたいことに、この安さにもかかわらず、扱いやすい立派な装丁のハードカバーなのです!

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.

O Resumo Visual Definitivo para Estudantes
Este livro brilha ao transformar a intimidante grade curricular de biologia em anotações coloridas, digeríveis e visualmente estimulantes. Simulando o caderno do "aluno mais inteligente da sala", ele utiliza mnemônicos, diagramas divertidos e linguagem direta para explicar desde a teoria celular até ecossistemas complexos. É o recurso de apoio ideal para estudantes visuais (especialmente do ensino fundamental II e início do médio) ou para quem precisa de uma revisão rápida e descomplicada dos fundamentos da vida, tornando o estudo menos árduo e mais intuitivo.

Great - A really worth while purchase for my Granddaughter who is just starting Biology
Really pleased, was a bit concerned that the Book was for US High Schools when I ordered, should not have been it was great. Lots of illustrations, written in an easy to follow style. My Granddaughter is very pleased. Looks like it will help her for several years.
