This book is intended primarily as a revision text for students studying for the CXC biology examination. The facts are presented concisely and in such a form that they can be easily revised. To this end, the material in each chapter is presented under a number of sub-titles, key words are shown in bold type and diagrams have been used wherever possible. The relationship between structure and function is continually highlighted. Particular emphasis is placed on the inter-relationships between organisms and their environment, the adaptations of organisms to their environment and the social and economic implications of biology, in keeping with recent trends in biology. Whilst the text has been written principally for pupils, teachers should also find the information included in the chapters entitled "Disease and Man" and "Life and the Environment" useful; these topics being ones which were not included in such detail in the GCE O-level syllabuses previously taught in the Caribbean. In addition, teachers should find the text useful in reducing the time spent giving notes so that they may develop a more experimental approach to the subject as is required by the CXC biology syllabus.
