Synopsis
Don't know much about biology?
The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to College Biology follows the curriculum of Biology 101 so closely that it serves as a perfect study guide, and it's also great for AP Biology and SAT Subject Biology exams that high school students are taking in droves. Students can turn to it when their textbooks are unclear or as an additional aid throughout the semester.
?The number of high school students who took AP Biology in 2008 increased 7 percent over the previous year (more than 154,000)
?College biology doesn't just lead to medical, dental, or veterinary school-biotechnology and biochemical jobs remain hot in today's job market
?Follows in the footsteps of The Complete Idiot's Guide(r)s as a terrific supplementary reading for AP Biology, though it follows the curriculum of the college Intro to Biology course.
