| WHAT A JOKEDO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS JUNK.
I would give this book a ZERO out of five stars if I could! You can barely get through a page of this garbage without running into an egregious error in spelling, grammar, or, most importantly and most frequently, content. Entire diagrams are mislabeled, answers to practice questions within the review text are frequently wrong, and many answers to practice exam questions are also wrong (my peers and professors have confirmed this, so I'm not just crazy, I swear)! I honestly don't believe that anyone bothered to edit this book at all after the first draft was written, because some of the errors in there are just so blatant. Using this book to review from is dangerous, because if you trust their answers, you'll be learning WRONG INFORMATION.
Since this book full of mistakes and therefore useless to study from, I contacted REA to request a refund, and they refused to own up to the fact that they put out a shoddy product and did not give me my money back. What a scam! I feel like I've been cheated out of thirty bucks, and I hope the next book I get can actually teach me something.

| This was the most useful aid I foundI took the GRE Biology Subject Exam 12/1999, and prepared for it using every single GRE Bio test preparation book I could find (about 5.) This was the most useful of them all, because it provided the only really accurate representation of what the exam was actually like. It is only one full sample exam and one partial sample exam and doesn't provide any review material per se, but it is well worth taking as practice, and then even more useful if you go back over the questions you missed, and review or teach yourself the pertinent subject material from standard text books. It seemed pretty obvious to me that Campbell's Biology and The Molecular Biology of the Cell by Alberts, et al, were two major sources for the test questions. Some of the questions on the practice exam covered material that my college Biology and Biochemistry courses didn't address. For example, I was confronted with population equations I had never seen before, but turned out to be in a previously unread chapter in my Campbell's text. Learning that, and other new material the practice test exposed me to, proved invaluable on test day. If it makes any difference, I scored in the upper 97%. If your goal is to score 90% and above, I strongly recommend this book. On the other hand, if your Bio knowledge is very rusty and you need extensive review material, or you have more modest scoring goals, Cracking the GRE Biology Exam by Deborah Guest was reasonably OK, but not broad enough in scope to result in top scores. The other review books I used were really pretty bad and a waste of time and money. They were so poorly written, using material so far removed from the content of the actual test, I honestly began to feel I could write a better review book myself. Maybe I should.

| Product DescriptionThis is the ninth volume in the Oratory of Classical Greece. This series presents all of the surviving speeches from the late fifth and fourth centuries BC in new translations prepared by classical scholars who are at the forefront of the discipline. These translations are especially designed for the needs and interests of today's undergraduates, Greekless scholars in other disciplines, and the general public. Classical oratory is an invaluable resource for the study of ancient Greek life and culture. The speeches offer evidence on Greek moral views, social and economic conditions, political and social ideology, law and legal procedure, and other aspects of Athenian culture that have recently been attracting particular interest: women and family life, slavery, and religion, to name just a few. Demosthenes is regarded as the greatest orator of classical antiquity. The two speeches translated here grew out of his longtime rivalry with the orator Aeschines. In Speech 19 (On the Dishonest Embassy) delivered in 343 BC, Demosthenes attacks Aeschines for corruption centered around an ultimately disastrous embassy to Philip of Macedon that both men took part in. This speech made Demosthenes the leading politician in Athens for a time. Speech 18 (On the Crown or De Corona), delivered in 330 BC, is Demosthenes' most famous and influential oration. It resulted not only in Demosthenes receiving one of Athens' highest political honors but also in the defeat and disgrace of Aeschines, who retired from public life and left Athens forever.
