The Thrive in Bioscience revision guides are written to help students achieve exam success in all core areas of bioscience.Each title encourages the reader to follow four steps to maximise their learning, with features to support this process.Step One: Review the factsThe revision guides are designed to help learning be quick and effective:· Information is set out in bullet points, making it easy to digest.· Clear, uncluttered illustrations illuminate what is said in the text.· Key concept panels summarise the essential learning points.Step 2: Check your understandingReaders are encouraged to: · Complete the questions at the end of chapters and online multiple-choice questions to reinforce their learning.· Use the flashcard app to master the essential terms and phrases.Step 3: Take note of extra adviceRevision tips, and hints for getting those precious extra marks in exams, are presented throughout.Step 4: Go the extra mileReaders can explore the suggestions for further reading to take their understanding one step further.Each title in the series is tailored to maximise understanding and achievement, to ensure that the reader really can thrive in their studies. They are the perfect course companions for any bioscience degree.Each title in the series is accompanied by the following digital resources:A flashcard glossary app, enabling the user to test their understanding of key terminology;A bank of interactive MCQs, giving users a hands-on way to check they have fully understood the concepts presented.

This is the first major group study of the lives and work of Edna Clarke Hall, Gwen John, Ida Nettleship and Gwen Smith whose work constitutes a previously neglected area of twentieth century British Art.

The new edition of Introducing Genetics is a clear, concise, and accessible guide to inheritance and variation in individuals and populations. It first establishes the principles of Mendelian inheritance and the nature of chromosomes, before tackling quantitative and population genetics. The final three chapters introduce the molecular mechanisms that underlie genetics, including the techniques responsible for the current genetic revolution.As genetics affects all living organisms, examples are taken from insects, plants, animals, and humans. Each chapter ends with a set of problems to help the reader develop their understanding of genetics.

Like its predecessor, the new edition of Introducing Genetics is an accessible introduction to genetics from first principles to recent developments. It covers the three key areas of genetics: Mendelian, molecular and population and will be easily understood by first and foundation year students in the biological sciences.
