The Biology Book

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

Loads of great info for all ages

Good book that complements alevels . On of the sides came off but I just used some superglue and you can't even tell now .

Recipient really loved this book

A good book, would recommend.

Just received the new DK big ideas book, I can tell already it is another excellent addition and really well designed and I look forward to other new ones. Great work DK 🐆

The Biology Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained Hardcover – 24 Jun. 2021 The book. This is a hard back copy of the Dorling and Kindersley Biology book. Concept. This series of books takes a major topic in the biological disciplines and explains it along with information about the key scientists involved. Each topic is covered across two pages with photos, diagrams and illustrations. They have managed to pack a lot of facts in. Layout. The layout is typically DK with excellently written text, relevant phots and data. They use the same format across this range of books, I have the Ecology, Math’s and classical music ones as well. I have been working through each one with my nephews and nieces and it has been a wonderful journey. Overall. An excellent series of books with carefully selected and relevant subject matter that is explained and presented extremely well. Highly recommended.

I'm a really big fan of this. It's a mix of A Level-level biology, but being more advanced whilst relating to the real world. It's made for adults, but ones who haven't done formal academic degrees - almost like a very soft way of learning the surface level of medicine. Mostly though, it's interesting. Whilst it's a coffee table hardback, the pictoral nature of it makes it easy to digest and understand, and I read the whole thing from cover to cover, enjoying it at the same time as it being informative. It's designed so well to be able to ingest and retain the information.

It very well packed and was delivered timely. Is hardcover and it has tons of information and details.

It was great, my kid had a great time reading the book

DK are without a doubt the best at describing the interesting for anyone who wants to know. Thanks for another winner in educating books Dorling Kindersley, always very much appreciated. :-)

Chat gpt is easy, this is old school and authentic.

Interesting book of facts. However I returned it as it wasn’t useful for a homeschooler
