The Sciences: An Integrated Approach
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I really like how the book is set up. I am using the book for a science class and it has seemed to be very helpful and easy to understand so far. The goal of the book is to show how the main types of science are integrated and can be studied together. Like I said, it is easy to read there are questions at the end of every chapter for better understanding. A glossary is also included in the back. I have the 5th edition
BUY THIS VERSION INSTEAD OF 5TH EDITION

the two are almost identical except that the 5th edition has a fancier cover. the chapters and information in the chapters are the same, save yourself about 60 dollars and buy this version! quit getting jipped by these book makers!

Becoming Scientifically Literate in Today's World
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I am reading the book in conjunction with The Teaching Company's "The Joy of Science," which is presented by the Professor Hazen. The purpose of both is give you a background in the sciences-Physics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences and Biology-to make you scientifically literate for today's technical world. This sounds impossible because of the scope of the task. However through clear writing, examples found in the everyday world and excllent illustrations they achieve their goal. The book is geared for a nontechnical person. It is not designed to prepare someone to be a scientist or engineer. Thus the authors keep the mathematics to a minimum. The book is very readable. As a result of the book I now understand the basics of relativity and genetics. Both are areas I had trouble before.
Great for non-Science major
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As a business major, satisfying a Science requirement, I have found this book to be informative, interesting and great fun. I believe it to be will written and thorough. Information is wonderfully balanced by illustrations, fyi's and interesting supplemental facts. I have one significant complaint to register with the authors/publishers of this text. The review and discussion questions should be answered either at the end of the book or in the review book. It is extremely disappointing that these answers are not available. As a student with a 3.86 average, I take my education very seriously and find it discouraging and somewhat insulting that I can not check my own work. I would STRONGLY suggest that those answers are made available within the text or on web. Thanks!
