Human Biologyis a new book for readers preparing for careers in human biology or anatomy & physiology. As in Belk and Borden’s highly successful “Biology: Science for Life,” science is presented as a story that is integrated into the narrative to motivate readers to read further and make real-life connections to the concepts they are learning. Critical thinking is emphasized through figure captions that encourage readers to think further,“Stop and Stretch” vignettes that ask them to reflect on earlier concepts, and end-of-chapter problems that pose questions that integrate and synthesize the chapter material. The unique presentation of molecular genetics early in the book (Chapter 4) allows the authors to apply molecular ideas in subsequent chapters.  Clear and friendly writing continues as a hallmark of these authors.

Human Biology PDF

I expected when I searched on Amazon for the book I needed for my Biology class, author's name included, it would be fairly simple to find. There was only one result with the right cover. So, naturally, I ordered it. I should have paid more attention, sure. But there must be a problem with Amazon's searching or something, because this is not the book I need.
Pay close attention when it says STUDY GUIDE. That is, indeed, all this is. If, unlike most college students, you have money to spend on a study guide that is not required of you for a class, buy it. It will only be really useful if you also have extra time to do the extra homework found in the study guide, but maybe you want every waking moment to be filled with Biology homework.
The cover on this being the exact same cover as the actual thing makes things confusing and frustrating. So does having to search for the ISBN in order to find what a few people who buy this actually want. ( [...] is the ACTUAL book, by the way.)
I know I'm not the first to mistakenly make this purchase, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. I can not afford an extra book. I am angry at the publishers who didn't change the cover enough, and at Amazon.com for the abysmal navigation on their site.

This was a very useful study tool along with the text book- if you have the book for class, and do not need to workbook, I would still recommend getting it to help you study!
