The text contains the essential topics most commonly taught in general biology and is especially suitable for introductory courses. Its shorter length makes it manageable for students. Chapters are written to be self contained and can be used in various sequences. The book offers exceptionally clear explanations of important and, often difficult, topics in general biology. These topics include respiration, photosynthesis, genetics and cellular reproduction, protein synthesis, developmental mechanisms, kidney function, neural function, immune system function, and population genetics.
