  Describing the structure and habits of living organisms, including viruses, micro-organisms, plants and animals, this book considers how scientists acquire and use knowledge about these organisms to investigate their origins and relationships, and to explore basic biological mechanisms. The principles of the comparative method are explained, using examples from modern research. This is the first in a series of books for undergraduates in biology, describing the structure and habits of living organisms. The text is also suitable for S Level students.
