Fabulous Science Series for Middle School!

The entire Prentice Hall Science Explorer series is fabulous! Each book covers a particular topic in great detail - loads of vivid pictures, easy to use layout and links to the Prentice Hall website for more interesting facts and sites for your child to use. Each book is approximately 1/2 inch thick and has about 200 pages. Important information is high-lighted, key words and concepts are indicated in advance and small quizzes are included for each section of each chapter. Perfect for teaching kids how to find the useful information within the chapter. My child used these books in 6th and 7th grade and we don't have a single complaint about them. They are a great resource to have at home - buy the ones that are of interest to your child. That is the great thing - you don't have to purchase a huge text, just the ones you want.

Great Seller

The merchandise was in excellent condition and arrived very promptly. I would reccommend this seller to everyone in a heart beat. Excellent customer service!!!

a good introductory book

Benefit of this book is only if you do not have the physiology book by the same author or if you want to carry around a section of the huge book. By itself the book is very clear in explaning cardiac cycles and rest of the hemodynamics. Hearth sounds forget it, ECG or ECG graphs, forget it but whatever is explained is explained in easy terms whit some nice diagrams/figures.It is expensive book per page compared to physiology book.

Good but heavygoing in parts

This book has a lot of useful information but could be a little more reader-friendlyOne word of warning - the entire content of this book is to be found word-for-word in section IV of the Berne & Levy textbook "Physiology". Don't make the mistake I made and buy them both !
