Revised for the Seventh Edition, this full-color atlas is packaged with every new copy of the text, and includes 107 bone and 47 soft-tissue photographs with easy-to-read labels. This new edition of the atlas contains a brand new comprehensive histology photomicrograph section featuring over 50 slides of basic tissue and organ systems.

Brock Biology of Microorganisms and Student Companion Website Plus Grade Tracker Access Card: International Edition 11/E

The authoritative text for introductory microbiology, Brock Biology of Microorganisms continues its long tradition of impeccable scholarship, outstanding art and photos, and accuracy.  It balances the most current coverage with the major classical and contemporary concepts essential for understanding microbiology. 

Essentials of Genetics: International Edition 6/E

Balancing classical and modern genetics, Essentials of Genetics helps students understand basic genetics concepts, apply those concepts to biological problems, and use analytical reasoning to figure out which of many problem-solving techniques apply.

Practical Skills in Biomolecular Sciences 3/E

Practical Skills in Biomolecular Science, is an indispensable book for undergraduate students in the life sciences. The book provides useful support at all stages of a degree course and underpins any practical course in biochemistry, biomedical science, genetics, immunology and microbiology.

"An essential book for all Life Science students – a highly recommended purchase for their degree."

Dr Mark Wilkinson, University of Liverpool

If you are studying within the biomolecular sciences, then this book is an indispensable companion throughout your entire degree programme. It  demonstrates lucidly the laboratory and data analysis skills that you will draw on time and again for the practical aspects of your studies, and also gives you a solid grounding in those wider transferable skills that are increasingly necessary to achieve a higher level of academic success.
