The list keeps growing! The latest in Government Institutes'
'non-specialist' series, Biology for Nonbiologists continues the
tradition established by Toxicology for Non-Toxicologists and
Chemistry for Nonchemists, by providing environmental and
occupational-safety-and-health practitioners and students with a
comprehensive overview of the principles and concepts of modern
biology. Covering everything from basic chemistry principles and the
consequences of biology's interaction with the environment to basic
biological principles and applications, this convenient handbook
provides a quick course on the science of biology. You'll gain an
understanding of and skill in biological principles and learn key
biology concepts, concerns, and practices without spending weeks in a
classroom. Biology for Nonbiologists focuses on three areas:
environmental biology and ecology as they apply to environmental
regulatory compliance programs, human biology, and community and
ecosystem dynamics. However, it also covers all major biological
themes, including the cellular basis for life, the interactions of
organisms, and the evolutionary process of all beings. The author
explains scientific concepts with little reference to mathematics and
physical science and little technical language, making the text easier
to understand and more engaging for non-science readers. To further
demystify the science, Spellman also lists and defines essential
biology terms and terms not often used in the environmental and safety
fields. Special study aids, including end-of-chapter reviews and
checkmarks that highlight important points, enhance learning and allow
readers to evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
