Van De Graaff's Photographic Atlas for the Biology Laboratory

This photographic atlas is beautiful to behold, with vivid photographs of a diverse array of life forms on every page .There's a very helpful index in the back, too The loose leaf format makes the pages easy to handle. As a collage artist I have found and used many fabulous, colorful, mysterious images inside this book -- indeed, I'm on my second copy.

It's beautiful to look at and I have used it often for my second semester Bio (bio for science majors) class. My only complaint is that I have gone to look up a few organisms that seem to be representative of their taxonomic/phylogenetic/whateverthecurrentconsensusis to find that they were not included. I will update the review with specific examples if I remember to note them when it next occurs :)

I was recommended to get this for my biology lab for temple bio 1111. THANK GOD I GOT IT because it saved me a lot of time when Doug microscope drawings. Without this, I would've been in lab the entire 3 hrs but I only stayed in lab for 1 hr or so. RECOMMEND THIS IF YOU DO A LOT OF MICROSCOPE DRAWINGS AND FOR MIDTERMS AND FINALS

Ordered this book for a college Biology Lab. Came brand new, in shrink wrap and no physical problems what so ever. Speedy and on time delivery (with Amazon Prime). Though this is mentioned in the book description, this is not a traditional book. It is loose leaf pages with no binding (easily put into a binder or something). This is just a warning so as to avoid anyone being caught off guard. All in all, a perfectly fine purchase.

pleasently surprised, I have had a lot of loose leaf text books and this one is much better quality than any other that I have had.the paper is good heavy stock and looks like it will last a long time

I got this for my bio 2 class. It's a cool, fun picture atlas that shows different fungi, plants and animals dissected or what they look like under a microscope. There are limited pictures if you're ever trying to identify something, since there are more animal dissection pictures than anything.

First 6 pages of the book came slightly ripped but otherwise is good condition and shipped quickly.

Like it. Its a book. And it is the one I needed for class. With the .edu email address I was able to get it in two days for free shipping.

I thought is was glued, but it was loose pages. That's ok tho ^_^
