The Story of Biology

Biology arrived at its current understanding through argument, error and slow accumulation, and Anne Rooney traces that route in this Arcturus Publishing title. The account moves from early ideas about living things to modern research, taking in the experiments, disputes and figures that shifted the field along the way. Concepts are explained without assuming prior study, and illustrations support the text at the points where a diagram does more than a paragraph. It reads as history and as introduction at once. Inside the book: • A chronological account of how biological understanding developed • Key experiments and the scientists associated with them • Explanations written for readers without a science background • Illustrations placed where they clarify rather than decorate Suited to students, teachers and general readers curious about the life sciences, this Arcturus Publishing edition by Anne Rooney is available from Boipoka.
