Abstract:
"From reproduction to respiration and from enzymes to ecosystems, every topic is fully illustrated to support the information, make the facts clear, and bring biology to life. For key ideas, "How it works" and "Look closer" boxes explain the theory with the help of simple graphics. And for revision, a handy "Key facts" box provides a summary you can check back on later."--Amazon.com.
