Description

Written by an experienced author and teacher of students with a wide range of abilities, "Advanced Biology" will spark interest and motivate A-Level students. Questions are presented in two styles, 'Quick Check' and 'Food for Thought', to give opportunities to practise both recall and analytical skills. 'Fact of Life' boxes on spreads also encourage discovery by providing interesting and thought-provoking aspects of biology. Key points are: important terms are highlighted; full colour illustrations; and graduated questions to practise recall and analytical skills.
