My Review

This is the book I’ve been waiting for since I discovered Biology for the IB Diploma by C.J Clegg last year. As per my review for the Biology book from the same publisher, I expect this book to be equally amazing. I’ve pre-ordered it and am counting down the days to its release!

The Biology book is everything one could want or need for their studies, and I expect this book to be exactly the same, if not better. I’ll provide a full review when I receive the book and have used it for a couple of weeks to get a good feel for it.

The book is available for a 25% discounted price of £24.38 in the UK, and for those of you not living in the UK, you can order for the same price.

My Review

This is the my favourite Biology book which I have come across so far. There is masses of information that is all very useful and easy enough to understand (Prior explanation is required for more advanced content). Diagrams in the book are also very helpful for helping to explain some trickier things like The Krebs Cycle. I would recommend this book to all Biology Students, both at Standard Level and Higher Level.

The book is usually around £25-£30 from Amazon in the UK and $60 from Amazon in the USA, deppending on whether you want it new or used. Although expensive, this is a good price considering the content you get. It doesn’t seem to be for sale in many places, and can only be bought second hand at a reasonable price. The one thing that lets the book down is the fact that the Options are on a CD! This means you will be doing alot of printing when you come round to it! (Unless you have a laptop to view them on in class)

Pros
Fantastic content
Good diagrams and colourful images
Easy to understand
Includes past IB exam questions

Cons
Additional ‘Options’ are only available as PDF on disc
