Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text is aimed at students from a non-scientific background, and provides an accessible introduction to biology. It takes a comparative, concept-based approach and has a lively writing style. It has a new chapter on the origins and diversity of life, and there is also a new chapter on biomes. The behaviour and ecology unit has been expanded, as has the coverage of evolution. Ethical issues raised by biotechnology are also discussed; the coverage of chemistry is revised as well.
