The Ideas of Biology

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
"Biologists are fortunate in having such a scientist and author interpret these facts, for Dr. Bonner's style of writing contributes greatly to the success of the work . . . The drawings which accompany the text are excellent."--Library Journal. A series of concise essays explores the foundations of modern biology (the cell, genetics, development, and evolution) for coherent definitions of some of life's seemingly inscrutable processes. Using evolution as the central theme, it examines heredity, embryonic development, and ultimately, relations between organisms and their environment. Written as a supplement to biology texts, this volume also can be appreciated outside the classroom. Unabridged reprint of the classic 1962 edition. 24 black-and-white figures.
