George H. Fried Biology - the Study of Living Organisms - a Complete Course with 900 Questions and Answers.
USA Schaum's Outline Series 1995 0 07 022402 1 / 9780070224025 Large Glossy Soft Cover Very Good Biology 11in x 8in
A very good copy of this book. 444 clean, well illustrated pages inc. index. No creases to the spine or to the covers. - since the era of molecular biology was inaugurated in the 1950s, the contents and teaching of biology have changed dramatically. The more descriptive aspects of the field, long associated with the older idea of biology as natural history, have been complimented and even overshadowed by the wealth of knowledge revealed by the penetrating probes of molecular biology. To cover the descriptive and historical aspects of biology while explaining the biochemical and molecular approaches of recent years imposes a daunting challege. This, however, has been the aim of this book, and understanding and appreciation of contemporary biology. In an outline format, each chapter independantly summarizes the material of its major themes and is followed by a series of questions and answers which provide both greater depth and an opportunity to clarify material which the reader may not have fully understood.

An excellent copy of this book. 419 very clean pages. The jacket is also in excellent condition. Small 'p' stamped to the underside closed page edge. Small 'dusty' mark to bottom underside corner. - This book presents an unparalleled survey of one of nature's most remarkable phenomena; the way in which species preserve themselves and each other by feeding off each other. Comprising alphabetically arranged entries on more than 500 predators - from amoebas to sperm whales - this encyclopedic reference work provides clear, detailed answers to such intriguing questions as - Which animals are predators? How do they trap their prey? Are they generalists, who can choose from a variety of prey, or specialists, limited in their selection? How do they kill and ingest? Do they in turn become the prey of other predators? - This is an indespensable reference book for both amateur and professional naturalists and ecologists. It offers new insights into the essential role predation plays in the ecosystem, showing how it ensures the survival not only of the hunters but of the hunted as well. Whether you approach this fascinating book as an experienced researcher or as a casual browser, it is likely to dispel any prejudices you hold about the cruelty and arbitrariness of nature, and to impart a lasting appreciation of the justice of natural law. - complied by a team of scientists.
