Synopsis


Jay Phelan's What is Life? A Guide to Biology is written in a delightfully readable style that communicates complex ideas to non-biology majors in a clear and approachable manner. After reading Phelan's book, students will understand why they would want to know and talk about science. His skillful style includes asking stimulating questions (calledQ questions) which encourage the student to keep reading to find the answer and will illuminate just how relevant science is to their life.
