Books with title Biology: Human Biology

The blend of Student Books and supporting online resources allow you to personalise the delivery of the course to meet students' needs and develop the skills required to tackle How Science Works and practical assessment. Feel confident that you are covering exactly what is required of the AQA Human Biology A2 specification. Learning Objectives, clearly referenced to the related statements in the AQA specification, let students know exactly what they'll need to learn and understand in that topic. Extension materials provide extra challenges for students, helping them to develop key skills.

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.
