Biology

Annotated lists of important sources for information critical to biologists are presented. Current and retrospective reference works are listed to give an historical perspective and to provide access to the taxonomic literature.

This book provides practical advice to students who are learning to write according to the conventions in biology. Using the standards of journal publication as a model, the author provides, in a user-friendly format, specific instructions on: using biology databases to locate references; developing sound reading strategies; paraphrasing for improved comprehension; writing for a particular audience with the appropriate tone; preparing lab reports or scientific papers, posters, and oral presentations with accepted format and content; self-evaluating drafts; using peer and instructor feedback for professional development; and preparing oral presentations in PowerPoint.

Not since it first published in 1858 has Gray's Anatomy introduced so much innovation to the world of anatomical references. A team of renowned clinicians, anatomists, and basic scientists have radically transformed this classic resource to incorporate all of the newest anatomical knowledge. They reorganized it by body region to parallel clinical practice and added many new surface anatomy, radiologic anatomy, and microanatomy images to complement the exquisite artwork that the book is known for. A new clinical emphasis ensures relevance to everyday practice. Almost 400 new illustrations nearly 2,000 in all, over half of them in full color-depict all structures with optimal clarity, including surface anatomy, radiologic anatomy, and microanatomy.
