Books with title Globe Biology

This laboratory manual is designed for an introductory majors biology course with a broad survey of basic laboratory techniques. The experiments and procedures are simple, safe, easy to perform, and especially appropriate for large classes. Few experiments require a second class-meeting to complete the procedure. Each exercise includes many photographs, traditional topics, and experiments that help students learn about life. Procedures within each exercise are numerous and discrete so that an exercise can be tailored to the needs of the students, the style of the instructor, and the facilities available.

Biology is the study of how living things function, how they relate to one another, and how they evolved. Because living things vary greatly in how they live and how they developed, the field of biology is broken into many distinct specialty areas, including microbiology, plant and animal physiology, ecology, epidemiology, cell biology, and marine biology. Biologists play an important role in research to fight diseases and develop life-improving technologies.Careers in Focus: Biology, Third Edition explores 20 careers in this important--and rapidly growing--scientific field.Job profiles include:-Astrobiologists -Biochemists -Biotechnology patent lawyers -Cytotechnologists -Ethnoscientists -Genetic scientists -Marine biologists -Naturalists -Toxicologists -Zoologists.

This fifth edition of "Biology" has an increased emphasis on the process of science by integrating more historical context, references to specific scientists, their research stories and experimental data. New examples inlcuded are: topics in cell biology, such as cell signalling, molecular chaperones, cloning technology, genetic discrimination and telometric DNA; topics in evolution and diversity, such as testing evolutionary hypotheses experimentally, hybridization of cichlids in Lake Victoria, experimental evidence of inbreeding depression in nature, new fossil finds of early apes and hominids, cladistics, chytridiomycetes and plant evolution; topics in ecology, such as competition as an ecological determinant of community structure, experimental evidence of the individualistic model of community structure, the relationship between productivity and biological diversity, UN and IIASA human population projections, the relationship among human population growth, resource consumption and environmental degradation; an animal biology chapters with content revisions including, nervous systems, internal defence, endocrine, regulation, development and animal behaviour.

The new edition of Science Foundations provides comprehensive coverage of single- and double-award GCSE science. It is fully revised and updated to match the new GCSE specifications, for teaching from September 2001. It contains all the material required for the foundation and higher tiers, with clear progression and explicit differentiation. 'Higher tier only' material is clearly marked in separate spreads. The language level is carefully controlled, with illustrations and layout specifically designed to make the concepts accessible. There are frequent opportunities for students to confirm their understanding of each key idea as it is introduced, via short questions and summary passages on each spread. The books include guidance for students on how to prepare for and answer their GCSE examinations, and a glossary of key words for ease of reference.
