Exam Board: OCR Level: A level Subject: Science / Biology First
teaching: September 2015 First exams: June 2017 An ActiveBook is
included with every Student Book, giving your students easy online
access to the content in the Student Book. They can make it their
own with notes, highlights and links to their wider reading.
Perfect for supporting work and revision activities. Student Book 1
supports a standalone AS course and provides the first year of a
two-year A level course; Student Books 1 and 2 together support the
full A level course. A cumulative approach to learning constantly
builds on what has previously been taught. The chapter openers
highlight prior learning requirements and link to future learning.
The required maths skills are highlighted at the start of each
chapter providing opportunities for students to check understanding
and remedy gaps. Bigger spreads require students to read real-life
material that's relevant to the course and use knowledge in new
contexts. Accompanying questions require students to analyse how
scientists write, think critically and consider issues. Preparing
for your exams sections highlight the key differences between
preparing for an AS and full A level exam. Practice question
spreads provide opportunities for students to regularly check their
understanding using questions written in the style of the new exams
from day one.
The Arctic Charr is a fish of wild places. It is the fish that is
capable of thriving in the harsh conditions found in the fresh
waters of the far north where no other fish can. Its toughness in
these extreme environments, its stunning beautiful colours (more
usually associated with tropical fish) and the speed with which it
is known to adapt to new environments, ensure that "charismatic" is
used in any description of this species. Although widespread and
often abundant, surprisingly little is known about Arctic Charr in
21st century Scotland. In this volume, two ecologists with a
life-long passion for this species, distil what is known, and just
as importantly what is not, about Scottich Arctic Charr.
Biostatistics for the Biological and Health Sciences brings
statistical theories and methods to life with real applications,
emphasis on real data, and a friendly writing style. It suits a
variety of students in their first statistics course and uses
minimal algebra. Abundant examples and emphasis on real data help
you develop skills in critical thinking, technology and
communication. This collaboration from 2 biological sciences
experts and the author of the #1 statistics book is an excellent
introduction that is also highly readable, understandable and
relevant. The 3rd Edition incorporates the latest methods used by
professional statisticians. It offers a wealth of new data sets,
examples, and exercises (such as those involving clinical trials,
COVID-19, biometrics, and anthropometrics) and includes features
that address all recommendations included in the Guidelines for
Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) as
recommended by the American Statistical Association.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Life does not exist without the intestine. The source of the heart
and mind exists in what makes the intestine move, searching for
food or reproduction. Higher living animals have been borne from
the intestine and sustained by it. This suggests that the heart and
mind is located in the internal organs. The character of a patient
who underwent the simultaneous transplant of the heart and lungs,
has been replaced by that of the donor. The author thinks that the
heart and mind dwells in the intestine such as the heart, the
reproductive organ and the face. He, a world-famous doctor for the
development of artificial organs, has searched for the origin of
the heart and mind by elucidation of the evolution of the
vertebrate in his own way.
