Synopsis

This intruduction to the five kingdoms provides students with an understanding of biodiversity and integrates logically all of biology - from micro to macro-organisms. The text consists of unlabelled drawings of organisms in their specific habitats for students to colour and study, followed by labelled drawings against which they may check their work. In addition to a strong visual appeal, the book also discusses current, high-interest topics, including the relation of archaebacteria to other bacteria and to eukaryotes (ie the relation of all major forms of life and their time of appearance in the fossil record). Handy learning aids include an introduction to classification systems and life cycles, a brief physical history of the Earth, and a glossary of terms.
