This biological textbook applies basic biological concepts to areas of immediate human concern such as genetic engineering, cancer, organ transplants, immunity and the environment. For this edition, the authors have thoroughly revised each chapter, developed many new illustrations, and introduced a new chapter on the biology of skin. Three infrequently used chapters from the previous edition, surveying the plant and animal kingdoms, have been deleted.
