Students, not scientists, are the intended users of World of Biology. Aimed squarely at high school coursework in biology, it offers a convenient, comprehensive, subject-specific guide to topics, theories discoveries, concepts and people in a core curriculum subject.
In a single alphabetical arrangement, World of Biology offers 1, 000 age-appropriate essays, definitions, biographies; about 350 illustrations; and other information selected by experts to satisfy assignments in all aspects of biology, including anatomy, physiology, ecology, botany, genetics, biochemistry, medicine and molecular biology.
World of Biology offers choices lacking in competing products. Students will find inventions, discoveries and ideas as well as family and educational background of the people associated with milestones in biology. Racially and ethnically diverse and offering a mix of historical and current information, World of Biology provides the background, detail and human interest that help students get excited about science.
Numerous textual cross-references reinforce connections between people and ideas; a timeline offers instant historic perspective; subject-arranged sources are provided for additional research; and students are offered index access by keyword, nationality/ethnic origin and gender.
