This book is a completely updated version of the thin study guide for the old guide. It covers the key concepts for the 2014 syllabus in simple one page summaries. This would be a good resource to help students revising at SL and HL. The pages break concepts down into manageable short sections and with diagrams and illustrations are really clear and helpful.
Exam questions are given at the end of each section. This book is directly linked to the Oxford Biology Course Book and is a good complement to it. By Brenda WalpolePublished by Cambridge: 13-Mar-2014, approximate price £35, 43€This is a second edition updated to cover in full the requirements of the IB syllabus for Biology for first examination in 2016.
The text is well spaced and clearly written and the layout on the page makes it easier to read than some other books. This would be a good class text book and would not put off the less academic students or break their backs, as its page format allows it to be thinner than most other IB Biology books.by, andPublished by Pearson: 5-Sept-2014, approximate price £50, 63€, US80$Completely revised new edition of the market-leading Biology textbook for HL, written for the new 2014 Science IB Diploma curriculum.

The pages look traditional in format and the text is in quite large blocks. It is laudably printed on partly recycled paper which makes the look a bit less glossy than others. There are some chapters where the content is not closely matched with IB Biology some content is missing and extra material is included.
It has a very attractive low price.
