Product Description

Another brilliant entry in the Basher Science series, Biology: Life as we Know it! turns the basics of biology into adorable creatures that exemplify their most prominent traits. Organized by types of cells, basic life forms (virus, fungus, birds), body parts, and plants, each category has an introductory entry with the illustrations for that chapter assembled on one page, helping kids to see and remember which terms belong to which group. Each creature has its own full-page illustration and entry written from a fun, casual, first-person perspective; children will learn about mitocrondria, RNA, ribosomes, enzymes, protests, noses, tongues, stem cells, chlorophyll, roots, pollen, seeds, and more.128 pages, softcover, with glossary and fold-out poster of the all the systems.

Please Note: "Millions/billions of years" and Darwin are mentioned, as well as "sperm," "egg," and "baby in womb" chapters that explain reproduction.

Publisher's Description

Basher Science: Biology, Life As We Know It created and illustrated by Simon Basher, Written by Dan Green:

Nature's building blocks have never been more sociable than in this newest offering from the creators of The Periodic Table and Physics. From cells to DNA, from viruses to mammals, from chlorophyll to flowers and fruit, and including the human body's parts and systems, Biology is a single volume BIO101 course. Distinctive characters, a creative pallette, and straight- forward text make it all clear—and fun!

Since graduating, he has written and edited many popular science titles and humorous books, become the editor of a South American national newspaper, worked as a travel writer, as well as developing and editing the wildly successful Horrible Science magazine collection. He is the "voice" of Basher's bestselling science-made-easy books, and to date has written nine titles in the series.

Simon Basher is an artist and designer who has fun playing in the world of contemporary character design. Inspired by a love of simple line work and a rich palette, his characters blend the edge of manga with the cuteness of Hello Kitty.
