Why do elephants have sturdier thigh bones than humans? Why can't
ostriches fly? How do bacteria swim through fluids? With each
chapter structured around relevant biological case studies and
examples, this engaging, full-colour book introduces fundamental
physical concepts essential in the study of biological phenomena.
Optics is introduced within the context of butterfly wing
colouration, electricity is explained through the propagation of
nerve signals, and accelerated motion is conveniently illustrated
using the example of the jumping armadillo. Other key physical
concepts covered include waves, mechanical forces, thermodynamics
and magnetism, and important biological techniques are also
discussed within this context, such as gel electrophoresis and
fluorescence microscopy. A detailed appendix provides further
discussion of the mathematical concepts utilised within the book,
and numerous exercises and quizzes allow readers to test their
understanding of key concepts. This book is invaluable to students
aiming to improve their quantitative and analytical skills and
understand the deeper nature of biological phenomena.
