Every one who has any interest in science in our modern world should buy this!
Very well edited for the modern world!!! Chapters are brief, very well written with incredible clarity, relevance without sacrificing depth, some thing rare in todays books, but of course DK knows how to pull it off. Highly recommend to any parent, homeschooler, of just any adult interested in science. Biological sciences have advanced so much since most adults graduated from school or college that it is very relevant to everyone and concise enough for our busy lives and again without sacrificing deapth!

Every child needs this when they start to ask questions
There are a lot of things kids want to know but are hesitant to ask and more things parents really can't adequately explain. This book is a great start until kids can find a book at a higher reading level. Great illustrations and photos.

The outline of biology
This book chronicles the events that have made biology what it is today. But it does more than that. It details events that have shaped biology. Things like mapping the brain and the chemical processes that have influenced our understanding of the subject are all there. Good read.

Excellent Book in the DK Series.
Excellent book, I have been leafing through it and have found it fascinating. Not only does it go through the fundamentals of the subject, it explains the history, discovery and the mechanisms involved within each area of study. I purchased this for my son, who is a bit of a budding physics boffin, and thought it would broaden his knowledge base. However, I should add he's only 8, and this book covers how the reproductive process came to be scientifically understood and I've decided to put the book onto the top shelf for a couple years. Silly me Doh! Of course, it's a biology book! Age range, maybe 11 up and probable useful for GCSE levels or interested adults, as it is a really good, well illustrated reference book too. I
