O knihe
Discover and understand the key ideas that underpin the core science of biology and learn about the great minds who uncovered them.
Written in plain English, The Biology Book is packed with short, pithy explanations of some of the most momentous ideas in science, from cell theory to evolution by natural selection and the discovery of DNA. Simple graphics, such as timelines and mind maps, support the text and make the explanation easy to follow.
The book is arranged in chapters covering key themes in the life sciences, such as zoology, evolution, and biotechnology. Within each chapter, a series of articles traces the history of scientific thought and introduces the work of the scientists who have shaped the subject such as Carl Linnaeus, Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck, Charles Darwin, and Gregor Mendel. Along the way, the book addresses some of the most fundamental questions in science: how did life begin, what is a species, and are we the products of nature or nurture?
By covering subjects such as cloning, genomics, neuroscience, human evolution, and gene editing, the story comes right up to the present day and makes sense of some of the most pressing and relevant scientific issues of our times.
Whether you are new to biology, a student of the life sciences, or just want to keep up with and understand current ethical and scientific debates, The Biology Book is for you.
