Biology: An Illustrated Guide to Science is one of eight volumes in
""Facts On File's"" new ""Science Visual Resources"" set.
Containing six sections, a comprehensive glossary, a Web site
guide, and an index, ""Biology"" is an ideal learning tool for
students and teachers of science. Full-colour diagrams, graphs,
charts, and maps on every page illustrate the essential elements of
the subject, while parallel text provides key definitions and
step-by-step explanations. ""Unity"" - looks at the basic chemistry
of all biological systems, such as carbohydrates, fats, and
proteins. It also describes the essential instruments and
techniques of biology. This section furthermore describes the most
vital life processes from photosynthesis to respiration.
""Continuity"" - considers the ways in which biological systems
reproduce. The basics of all forms of biological reproduction are
covered, from those of unicellular organisms to flowering plants
and mammals. It also details the genetic mechanisms of inheritance
from one generation to the next. ""Diversity"" - provides an
overview of the vast range of living organisms that inhabit Earth.
The major categories that biologists use to classify these
organisms are described, with examples provided. ""Maintenance"" -
examines the ways in which various kinds of living organisms carry
out everyday life processes, such as breathing, eating, movement,
and excretion. ""Human biology"" - takes a closer look at the
essential biological structures and functions of the human body. It
describes how the raw materials required are taken in, digested,
and transported to where they are needed; how waste products are
removed; and how the body is able to sense and interact with its
environment. ""Ecology"" - provides a brief look at how living
organisms influence and are influenced by the planet they live on.
The broadest of all biological processes are traced: the complex
webs of survival that link the simplest bacteria to the most
sophisticated carnivores. Finally, the elemental relations by which
chemical and geological processes form the conditions for life are
outlined.
