Basic Biology by
Life is Earth's most fascinating and incredible feature. It is what makes this planet so special. Yet, we take it for granted every day. From birds to bees, bacteria to humans, there is such a splendor of life that inhabits this spectacular planet and deserves our attention. The presence of life defines this planet but so often people know very little about the life on Earth. Basic Biology: An Introduction teaches the fundamental information on the living world that everyone should know. The world of biology is explained through key concepts, organisms, and biological structures. Evolution, cell division, genetic inheritance, basic biochemistry and more are explained in simple and easy-to-follow language. Key groups of organisms such as plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, archaea, and protists are introduced and their relationships within the tree of life are explained. Vertebrate or invertebrate, vascular or non-vascular, eukaryotic or prokaryotic, living or not; dive into Basic Biology: An Introduction and learn it all.

Everything You Need to Ace Biology in One Big Fat Notebook by
The Big Fat Notebooks' big step up to high school continues! Announcing Biology, the third in the high school series. With over 5 million copies in print worldwide since 2016, and sales escalating every year, the Big Fat Notebooks series is revolutionising the middle and high school study guide. And Biology continues with the high school STEM concentration, following Chemistry and Geometry, which in turn followed in the footsteps of the middle school series' bestselling titles, Math (1.56 million copies in print) and Science (with 1.18 million copies in print). Wrapping its arms around a subject that covers everything from life at the molecular level to the entirety of an ecosystem, Biology tackles all the big ideas: biological classification and hierarchy, cell theory, genetics, the human body, evolution, and more. And it does so in that lively, useful, and intuitive way that makes the Big Fat Notebooks so singular and successful: Critical ideas are broken down and clearly explained; doodles illuminate tricky concepts; mnemonics provide memorable shortcuts; and quizzes recap it all. Plus, the author, Matthew Brown, a biomedical engineer and science communicator, has an easy, engaging way of bringing even the most complex scientific concepts to life.

Breathing Life into Biology by
This book shows that contemporary biology is focused almost exclusively on genes and molecules. This approach, despite giving rise to exciting developments, such as DNA sequencing and genetic engineering, does not take into account the living organisms themselves. This text redresses this imbalance: firstly, by providing a sketch of a fully-fledged theory of what living organisms are; and then putting this theory to work by recounting the story of the evolution of living organisms on Earth.

Frontiers in Developmental Biology by
This topical volume in the respected Encyclopedia series is the first in many years to bring together all important aspects of developmental biology in one source, from morphogenesis and organogenesis, via epigenetic regulation of gene expression to evolutionary developmental biology. The editor-in-chief has assembled an outstanding team of contributors to review these topics, creating an authoritative work for many years to come. The result is a unique, top-level reference in developmental biology for researchers, students and professionals alike.
Call Number: OnlineISBN: 9783527685899Publication Date: 2019-03-20General Biology by The meaning of biology is, "The science of life", which is derived from the Greek word bios (life), and logos (knowledge). So, Biology is the field of science dealing with Living Being. That's why Biology is also called Life Science.The book circumvents the customary human-centric style of nearly all introductory textbooks, the style which significantly misrepresents our understanding of the diversity of life. Our methodology focusses on the illustration of individual topics and their impact on different living species. For instance, the discussion of the cell-structure of different living things is present in the same chapter. The authors also highlight that it is essential to understand biological science as a whole for a thorough understanding of human biology. The book mainly avoids the use of specialized biological vocabulary where possible, instead it offers the concepts using simple English. This book is equally useful for readers from diverse backgrounds including researchers, professors, students, and biological scientists. Moreover, people having a background in other disciplines can also use this book to grasp the fundamentals of biology.
