Synopsis
Biological Diversity takes a fresh, innovative approach tothe teaching of biodiversity. Rather than detailing and cataloguingthe major taxa and their evolutionary relationships, the authorshave selected 18 groups of organisms and used these as a frameworkin which to discuss the species and their interactions with man andeach other. There is a strong narrative theme throughout the exploited and the exploiters – and, in many cases, there isemphasis on the historical context. A wide range of organisms arecovered, from the unicellular to birds and mammals and with anequal consideration of plants and animals. Species have been chosenfor their ability to best illustrate particular biologicalprinciples, and for their strong interaction with other species.
After an introduction the book is divided into two parts: Exploited and Exploiters . Each of thechapters, although linked to each other, forms a stand–alone essay.They are scientifically rigorous, up–to–date and do not shy awayfrom addressing some controversial issues. Chapters have text boxes highlighting important issues andconcepts, lists of further reading and references. In addition totables and figures the book has a selection of originalillustrations drawn by leading artist Steven Appleby.
This fresh approach will appeal to all those interested in thebiological sciences, and aims to be accessible to people with adiversity of backgrounds. It will prove particularly useful tobiology students, enabling them to get to grips with importantbiological principles and concepts that underpin the diversity oflife, and the interrelationship of humans with other groups oforganisms.
