The student of biological science in his final years as an
undergraduate and his first years as a graduate is expected to gain
some familiarity with current research at the frontiers of his
discipline. New research work is published in a perplexing
diversity of publications and is inevitably concerned with the
minutiae of the subject. The sheer number of research journals and
papers also causes confusion and difficulties of assimilation.
Review articles usually presuppose a background knowledge of the
field and are inevitably rather restricted in scope. There is thus
a need for short but authoritative introductions to those areas of
modern biological research which are either not dealt with in
standard introductory textbooks or are not dealt with in sufficient
detail to enable the student to go on from them to read scholarly
reviews with profit. This series of books is designed to satisfy
this need. The authors have been asked to produce a brief outline
of their subject assuming that their readers will have read and
remembered much of a standard introductory textbook of biology.
This outline then sets out to provide by building on this basis,
the conceptual framework within which modern research work is
progressing and aims to give the reader an indication of the
problems, both conceptual and practical, which must be overcome if
progress is to be maintained.
