This book, of a two book set, takes a look outside the box in many Biological subject areas. That is not to say that only 'outside the box' topics are addressed. The student will find that the understanding of other topics is strengthened by a more liberal approach, looking in greater detail than would generally be done in the normal text book. Furthermore, a 'step-by-step' approach has been adopted for many topics, where tricky concepts are built upon brick-by-brick. Needless to say, there are plenty of illustrations to help bring ideas across to the student. This two volume publication is mainly aimed at advance level Biology students, but there is much that can be read - and enjoyed - by students yet to prepare for their advanced studies. As with its sister publication, 'Easy as you Go', this publication is ideally suited to student, educator and parent alike because of its simplistic, down-to-earth approach, supported by a multitude of visual aids.
