Reviews

?In its totality it is a stimulating, readable, and informative account which fully lives up to the promise of its title.?-Science


One can hardly believe that the history of biology can be encompassed in ?? brief chapters, and indeed this is a once over lightly performance...but by an expert. Thus, everything is in place and though everything and everyone cannot be included, the major trends, principles, discoveries and discoverers are spotlighted and quickly elucidated. The following chapters covered ancient biology; medieval biology; the birth of modern biology; classifying life; evolution; beginning of genetics; the fall of vitalism; the war against disease; the nervous system; blood; metabolism; molecular biology, protein; molecular biology, nucleic acid. A good, authoritative, easy-to-read tool for junior and senior high school collections and for anyone wanting a quick introductory survey. (Kirkus Reviews)
