AQA Biology: A Level Year 1 and AS Bewertungen

If I had to write the perfect A Level Biology textbook - then this would be it! This is exactly what I want in a textbook, laid out in the right way, delivered in the right way. Love it * Amanda Fletcher-Woods, Head of Biology, Queen Elizabeth High School, Hexham *
Great product. Very useful and good price. * Amazon review, Sept 2015 *
Some textbooks are really hard to understand, as they are written exclusively in the longest words that you could find in a thesaurus. However, this textbook is perfect. The information is comprehensive and easy to understand. * Amazon review, Oct 2015 *
