Publisher's Synopsis
This volume emphasizes principles, interpretation of data, practical techniques and applications of biology. This edition has been fully revised to meet the demands of the Southern Examining Group's new GCSE Biology syllabus (to be examined from 1991).;The factual element in the text is presented in ways that encourage students to think questioningly and scientifically. The authors describe how biological knowledge is acquired and how to assess what is still unknown. Every experiment in the syllabus is described in detail with a section helping students to interpret their results for themselves. Each of the 48 units includes questions for class discussion, class work and homework. Nomenclature and terminology follows the recommendations of hte Institute of Biology.
