Oxford Biology Primers
Published in partnership with Oxford University Press, the Oxford Biology Primers series introduces prospective and current students of undergraduate-level bioscience to a broad range of topics from this dynamic experimental science.
The books in the series feature:
- Scientific approach panels to help students understand a little more about how we know what we know.
- Case studies to explore how a particular concept is relevant to everyday life, or to provide a close-up of an aspect of the science described.
- •Bigger picture panels to help students think about some of the issues and challenges associated with the topic under discussion; for example, ethical considerations, or wider impacts on society.
More than anything, the Oxford Biology Primers reveal to readers the awe-inspiring variety and intricacy of biology, and inspire students to explore the subject further for themselves.
