Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into fundamental generalities that are the product of contemporary expertise in the field of biology. This area of study, more so than others, requires an interdisciplinary approach due to the fact that many biological principles can only be understood through the detailed examination of both plants and animals. To that end, the author has utilized examples from both kingdoms to illustrate the broader concepts within. Life and death - once thought of as clearly defined states of being - are revealed as part of a much more nuanced and fluid spectrum. The author maintains that the study of biology need not be limited to the laboratory. One can also explore these fascinating natural phenomena firsthand through hands-on observation that complements the more controlled laboratory setting. The primary functions of organisms - cellular and non-cellular organization, metabolism, growth, tissue differentiation, heredity, variation, and response to environment - are examined, demonstrating that all living things share many essential characteristics that unite them in the study of life.
