Editorial ReviewWith an extraordinary reputation for authority and accuracy, this landmark biology text continues to be an invaluable learning partner for students and teachers. The authors focus on the "big ideas" of biology: each chapter is organized around key concepts that build in a logical way, and are clearly explained and reinforced by the text discussion and illustration. The straightforward writing style, appropriate level of depth, and judiciously-selected coverage are other hallmarks. A comprehensive new supplements package includes a highly-interactive student learning CD-ROM. The Special Edition of The Biology Place allows students to explore animations, take quizzes, and access the most up-to-date biology resources on the web.

- The CD can still work
Just in case you bought one with CD, the CD installation software starts with Windows IE4 software installation. It would not work on most of the computers nowadays. However, the activities and quizzes are still valuable. They are in html format which can be opened with the latest Windows IE version or another internet browser such as Firefox. Just skip the installation software and open \home\home.htm file on the CD directly with the browser. Here is what I did in Windows XP, go to My Computer and click on... more info
