The field of biology focuses on living things, from the smallest microscopic protozoa to the largest mammal. In this book you will read and explore the life of plants, insects, spiders and other arachnids, life in water, reptiles, birds, and mammals, highlighting God's amazing creation. You will learn about the following and so much :How does biological classification give each different type of plant or animal a unique name?In what ways are seeds spread around the world?What food does the body use for long term storage of energy?How did biologists learn how the stomach digested food?What plant gave George de Mestral the idea for Velcro?For most of history, biologists used the visible appearance of plants or animals to classify them. They grouped plants or animals with similar looking features into families. Starting in the 1990s, biologists have extracted DNA and RNA from cells as a guide to how plants or animals should be grouped. Like visual structures, these reveal the underlying design or creation.The newest book in our Exploring series, Exploring the World of Biology is a fascinating look at life from the smallest proteins and spores, to the complex life systems of humans and animals.

    This book is educational and interesting at the same time. Very informative. I love the little quiz that comes at the end of each chapter to ensure and re inforce what has been learned. This series of books provide truth for our children.

    Got this for my 13yo’s science curriculum this year and they LOVE it. My 11yo is using another book in the series. Will definitely be continuing with them. Very interesting and engaging. I like reading them, too :)

    Upon receiving this book that I ordered for my 8th grade son, I read some of the first chapters our of curiosity. We homeschool and are fortunate to have a gentleman with a PhD in Chemistry (who actually worked in his field not the typical academic!) teaching science in our area.

    The first few chapters were very interesting, well written, and left me wanting to read the remainder of this book. It is not a dry, boring textbook that is commonly used in the Public aka Government schools. This book brings the subject ALIVE which considering it is a book of biology is quite appropriate.

    This could easily be used in the home for any parent desiring to teach science or learn along with their children.

    Thank you Dr. Reid for this book!

    This was a very interesting book to read along side my daughter as she took biology.

  • Thomas Brown

    We bought this book for our grandson. He showed it to his Biology teacher, who was very well impressed. He said it is better than their present text. I expect he may change that quite soon. Thanks!

    I bought this as a supplement to go along with our homeschool curric for biology.
    It was a great resource and I am so glad I got it. The children enjoy reading it. The quizzes we do orally and it helps me to know how much the children are understanding.
