"I can't remember when I've been more impressed by the elegance and clarity of a basic text. It's just wonderful front to back. And beautifully illustrated. Things are clear, the notion of scale and structure is everywhere, all the right 'themes' of science pedagogy are in place, and the writing is straightforward and lucid."

"The teaching tools are awesome! They really helps to capture the students' attention."

"I'm enjoying using Exploring the Way Life Works, and my students seem to like the book, too - they are doing significantly better than other classes I've taught using other texts!"
