Biology: Life as We Know It!

Nature’s building blocks have never been more sociable than in this newest offering from the creators of The Periodic Table and Physics. From cells to DNA, from viruses to mammals, from chloroph...yll to flowers and fruit, and including the human body’s parts and systems, Biology is a single volume BIO101 course. Distinctive characters, a creative pallette, and straight- forward text make it all clear—and fun!Children's LiteratureLife science is more than diagrams and hard-to-pronounce vocabulary words, and that concept is taken to new heights as Dan Green and Basher collaborate to present an engaging introduction to the many aspects of biology, the study of life. Charles Darwin kicks off the book, which is divided into sections focusing on building blocks, life forms, body parts, and plant life. The book is unique in that it does not have a traditional narrative; rather, after an introduction to the chapter, each subtopic is featured on a one- or two-page spread presented from the first person point of view. Each character provides an overview of its function and conveys its most significant information in a fresh, sassy, and smart dialogue with the reader. Vibrant, quirky, cartoon-style illustrations as well as more detailed, scientific illustrations give concrete images of such microscopic organisms as mitochondria and DNA, while a glossary and an index make the book easier to use for reference. Human and plant reproduction are addressed scientifically but in the same playful tone as the rest of the book. This edition includes a poster with detailed illustrations of various human systems, such as muscular, digestive, respiratory, and reproductive. Colorful and unusual, this modern approach to biology will grab kids' attention and hopefully encourage them to search for more in-depth information in other books. Reviewer: Keri Collins Lewis
