Kurzbeschreibung

Rather than emphasizing mastery of technical topics, this book will help readers quickly learn key concepts and ideas in biology. Effective examples are integrated throughout to provide a connection between the material and the world around them. The authors also focus on the scientific method/thought process, presenting insight into the applications, processes, and methods of science as well as the tools and discoveries of scientists.
