The Cartoon Guide to BiologyThis is a modern biology text in a cartoon format from bestselling author Larry Gonick and Dave Wessner, professor of biology at Davidson College. Beginning with an account of life's essential organic chemistry, cell structure, and energy, it goes on to describe how life extracts useful energy from food (cellular respiration and fermentation), how plants and other producers make that food from air, water, and sunlight (photosynthesis), and how DNA

This is a modern biology text in a cartoon format from bestselling author Larry Gonick and Dave Wessner, professor of biology at Davidson College.

Beginning with an account of life's essential organic chemistry, cell structure, and energy, it goes on to describe how life extracts useful energy from food (cellular respiration and fermentation), how plants and other producers make that food from air, water, and sunlight (photosynthesis), and how DNA stores information to create genetics, gene regulation, and reproduction.

The narrative then goes macro to show how interactions between these mechanisms and their environment lead to an immense variety of multicellular organisms with complex organ systems.

Finally, the text explores the systems of species, ecosystems, energy flows and chemical cycles--and what happens when biological systems are disrupted.

Great Shoe
Size: 10.5 Wide, Color: Black Leather/Black
Great shoe! Especially for those that are on the move in a professional setting for a lot of the day. The only issue I’ve had with these so far are my shoe laces are warping. The shoe itself is holding up great.

A great purchase
Size: 10.5, Color: British Tan/Ivory
These shoes are very comfortable and attractive. Lots of people noticed them when I first wore them. I would not consider them the most dressy shoes you can buy, but they work for "business casual" and most other outfits (but not shorts).

All-Day Comfort for 10+ Hour Workdays. Finally Found a Pair That Holds Up
Size: 12, Color: Black Leather/Black, Size: 12, Color: Black Leather/Black
After years of trying different “comfortable” dress shoes, this is the first pair I’ve owned that I can wear for a full 10+ hour workday without counting down the minutes to take them off. For context, I’m a retail district manager. I’m on my feet most of the day walking stores, standing in conversations, moving constantly. I’ve owned Clarks, Rockport, and even higher-end dress shoes, and while some started out comfortable, none of them held up for an entire day without foot fatigue setting in. These Cole Haan shoes are different. What stands out: All-day comfort: No mid-day foot pain, even after long shifts. Solid construction: Genuine leather that takes and holds a polish well. Supportive sole: Noticeably helps with impact from constant walking. Great value: Performs better than shoes I’ve paid significantly more for. I also appreciate that they hit a nice middle ground stylistically; more business casual than formal, but still sharp enough for most professional environments. For additional context, I am a heavier individual and tend to wear down the outer (lateral) edge of my shoes first. That pattern holds true here as well. The only drawback: After about two months of wearing them 5 days a week (purchased January 7th), the sole shows more wear than I would expect at this point. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s the reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. I’ll be including a comparison photo between the worn pair and a new pair for reference. That said, I still expect to get around 8–10 months of use out of them, which at this price point is more than fair. Bottom line: If you need a comfortable, reliable, and reasonably priced work shoe for long days on your feet, these outperform just about everything else I’ve tried, and that’s why I bought a second pair.
