Attain The Biology Book: From The Origin Of Life To Epigenetics, 250 Milestones In The History Of Biology Designed By Michael C. Gerald Delivered In Leaflet
book containsmilestones in Biology, including some that we have to estimate, like the origin of life, It also
contains some dark history in biology, mainly in eugenics, but doesn't go into depth, The book is printed in a straightforward manner, with the text on the left side of the book and an image related to the text on the right side of the book.
The page will begin with the general title of the milestone and its approximate date, along with the names and active years of the founders.
Let us take the Helix Structure of DNA for example, On the very top is the title of the finding, with the yearin the left margin, Below the title are the names of the relevant people, namely James Watson, Rosalind Franklin and Francis Crick, Below that is a blurb about the finding and how it was also a race between the Watson Crick Franklin team and Linus Pauling.
At the very bottom of the page is a description of the image on the next page,
Since it is printed in a layman friendly manner, it is quite easy to digest the information, They include some specialized language, but most of it is explained in the blurb, I really enjoyed it, though I don't think I will read it again, A perfect book for those who have an interest in biology, but are many years past the time when they took the subject in school.
Each milestone is the subject of a single entry only one page long written in a scholarly but very readable style and illustrated with a bold, colorful photo or drawing, on its opposite page.
The wide variety of entries ensures that your attention never flags, It also serves to remind you that biology is a remarkable field which deserves to get the kind of media attention so often lavished on astronomy.
Will the Neil deGrasse Tyson of biology please step forward
Great summary of the important milestones in the field of biology.
Fun little read! This book it made me feel like I was reading some Wikipedia articles packed together so "tightly", I couldn't read more than half of it, It might be OK for a high school student, but I found that most of the entries were too simplistic, The chronological layout felt random :/ From the emergence of life, to Leewenhoek's microscopic world, to GMO crops, The Biology Book presentslandmarks in the most widely studied scientific field.
Brief, engaging, and colorfully illustrated synopses introduce readers to every major subdiscipline, including cell theory, genetics, evolution, physiology, thermodynamics, molecular biology, and ecology, With information on such varied topics as paleontology, pheromones, nature vs, nurture, DNA fingerprinting, bioenergetics, and so much more, this lively collection will engage everyone who studies and appreciates the life sciences, .
