Title: Well written but pricey
Review: This book is written by two Harvard professors for their introductory life sciences course. I had to take this course because it's a requirement, and I'm annoyed that they assigned such an expensive, self-written textbook.Personal annoyance aside, however, I have to say that this is a well-written textbook. I'm not so sure it's worth the steep price, but the writing is clear, the diagrams are helpful, and it really assisted me in understanding and clarifying fundamental biological concepts. I can't say this for most of the textbooks I've used. (The textbook was certainly a lot clearer than the lecture, unfortunately.) Given that textbooks in general cost a fortune, I wouldn't consider this a bad investment.
