Facts on File Science Library - Biology Handbook"The Facts On File Biology Handbook, Revised Edition" offers students a full view of this vital branch of science, in the form of a one-stop reference, with more than 1,700 glossary entries. This volume expands greatly on the information available in the first edition, with the inclusion of four new sections, as well as updated information and additions in the biography, chronology, and glossary sections.
Intended to complement the material typically taught in high school biology and introductory college biology courses, "Encyclopedia of Life Science" is a new, two-volume reference set that reflects the fundamental concepts and principles identified by the National Committee on Science Education Standards.
Spanning the vast history of science, "Chronology of Science" contains approximately 2,000 cross-referenced entries that chronicle scientific progress. Helpful identifiers categorize the entries into core areas (biology, chemistry, physics, marine science, space and astronomy, Earth science, and weather and climate).
This major revision of the popular reference contains 1,500 new entries, for a total of 4,000, making it the most up-to-date biology dictionary available. All the commonly encountered terms and concepts in biology, biophysics, and biochemistry are covered, as well as terms from medicine and palaeontology. 100 line drawings.
Proceedings of the European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST 825) Symposium on Mammary Gland Biology, held September 16--18, 1999, in Tours, France.
This book represents one of the best of its kind. Each chapter represents an excellent point of well-referenced initial contact to the increasing number of funded investigators interested in the biology of the mammary gland.
