Including 4,000 clear and concise entries, this book covers all the commonly encountered terms and concepts in biology, biophysics, and biochemistry, as well as terms from medicine and paleontology taking into account the recent advances in these fields. 

Quick-reference for beginners on various parts of the human body and how they work together. Includes icons, other navigational aids, tear-out sheets, and full-color appendices.

Part of a series that allows students to review in-depth or briefly, depending on the amount of review that they require. Chapters are broken down into topics, all information is presented in bulleted or outline format, and includes many illustrations with detailed biochemical structures.

This book describes how cells work. It presents a new, simpler approach to fundamental processes such as movement, transport, division, and communication, based on sound physical principles.

The Dictionary of Cell Biology was first published in 1989, and has since been translated into several languages. It is intended to provide quick access to easily-understood and cross-referenced definitions of terms frequently encountered while reading the modern biology literature. This server contains the text of the Third edition, published in Late 1999.

A clear and easygoing history of genetics, from Mendel through genome sequencing.

This is a highly condensed review of cell and molecular biology with a very strong emphasis on the molecular biological aspects of disease.

Provides students with a concise, structured treatment of the key topics. Covers cells and macromolecules, protein structure, DNA replication, regulation of transcription in prokaryotes and more.

Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents the fundamentals of biochemistry through selected topics, incorporating the most important recent developments and applications into its presentation.

Based largely on Darwin's experience as a naturalist while on a five-year voyage aboard H.M.S. Beagle, The Origin of Species set forth a theory of evolution and natural selection that challenged contemporary beliefs about divine providence and the immutability of species.

Introductory textbook covers the function of organisms at many stages of organization, from the subcellular level to the intact organism. Covers cellular physiology, muscle, and the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems.

This book provides an introduction to those features of the atmospheric environment of particular relevance to plants; it also describes the physical and physiological principles required for understanding how these factors affect plants.

This step-by-step outline covers teh major topics of biochemistry. A question-and-answer format highlights the meaning of the material. This new second edition features added sections on whole-body metabolism, enzyme kinetics, and new technologies for monitoring metabolic processes.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Biology follows a standard biology course curriculum that begins with life, cells, and molecular structure and ends with evolution, ecosystems, and ecology.

Wynn and Wiggins use five fundamental ideas - physics' model of the atom, chemistry's periodic law, astronomy's Big Bang theory, geology's plate tectonics model, and biology's theory of evolution - to help lay readers "comprehend, appreciate, and evaluate the world of science." In explaining the thinking that led to each "Big Idea," the authors outline the scientific method and demystify the process.

In The Way of the Cell, one of the world's most respected microbiologists focuses on microorganisms -- in particular, the supremely well-researched bacterium E. coli -- because the cell is the simplest level of organization that manifests all the features of the phenomenon of life.
