内容説明
Establishing that biology is a dynamic discipline, not just a collection of facts, this text focuses on students' conceptual understanding of biological processes. This new edition features: new chapters on human genetics and "Protection in Plants"; more than 800 full-colour photographs, including new chapter openers and 200 new images; and summary outlines with most items keyed to illustrations for easier self-review.
