"It's an exciting time to be a biologist, with a wealth of new discoveries every day, and biology-related issues such as climate change change and stem cell research often making headlines. However, this avalanche of information can intimidate non-scientists. This book was designed and written specifically for students who most likely will not become biologists and may never again take another science course. It is an accessible and engaging introduction to biology that provides future decision-makers with an understanding of basic biology and the process of science."
