Slutsåld

Biology: The Essentials epitomizes what the market has come to recognize as Mariëlle Hoefnagels distinct and student-friendly writing-style. Mariëlle presents up-to-date information through What's the Point?, Why We Care, and Burning Questions; which are pedagogical tools designed to demonstrate to readers, and her own students, that biology is everywhere. Biology: The Essentials offers a broader and more conceptual introduction to biology, simplifying the more complex biological content to the essential elements that students need to act as framework for the details.
