This dictionary offers concise explanations of hundreds of key terms from biology and related subjects. Designed to meet the particular needs of school and university students, it should also be useful to non-scientists who are keen to gain a better understanding of the way the world works. From acetyle coenzyme A to the body, from cell to centipede, pollen to putrefaction and vision to zoology, the dictionary seeks to provide a greater understanding of the living world. It covers botany, the animal kingdom, human biology, organic chemistry and ecology, and is cross-referenced.
