BiologiX

The intricate and awesome world of living things is made visible and memorable in this systematic presentation of senior high biology that makes full use of student tutorials, demonstrations, models and animated graphics in lessons led by biology teachers. Along with the knowledge of the teachers, BiologiX offers the input of many world-class researchers working in a wide range of fields, including nerve regeneration and repair, bioethics, ecological conservation and genetic engineering. The series encourages students to understand the binding principles of natural events and the technology used in their daily lives. A comprehensive resource correlation guide is included free when the complete series is purchased. (43 x 28:00)
