As a busy educator, I understand that time is one of the biggest challenges for students learning biology—whether in high school, college, or preparing for the TEAS exam. Many students experience overwhelm trying to memorize endless biological terms, processes, and systems. This easy-to-read guide breaks down Biology 101 into manageable, logical steps, helping you retain key concepts efficiently. Using proven mnemonic techniques, you’ll form instant connections that make biology second nature. With mnemonics created by both students and instructors, you'll gain insights into how ...

In "Icarus; or, The Future of Science," Bertrand Russell explores the potential consequences of scientific advancement, drawing parallels between the myth of Icarus and the development of technology. He argues that while science can lead to progress, it also poses risks, particularly regarding power and societal structures. Russell suggests that scientific advancements, especially in the physical sciences, can increase power, lead to industrialism and war, and necessitate large-scale organization, which could potentially be used for oppressive purposes.

The science is in: being good is actually good for you. In The Biology of Kindness—the first in a trilogy on the topic of daily wellness—the science of mindfulness and the findings of biology come together to show how kindness and optimism improve overall well-being in profound, organic, and demonstrable ways. Daniel Lumera, an expert in meditation and mindfulness, and Immaculata De Vivo, a preeminent researcher in molecular epidemiology, outline a revolutionary approach to health, longevity, and quality of life—and explain the scientific evidence that supports their work.

For marine biologist Rachel Jordan, both science and Scripture are means of knowing creation and Creator. In If the Ocean Has a Soul, Rachel considers the natural world through a spiritual lens, meshing marine biology with biblical truths in a keen and current take on faith and science. In these chapters, Rachel recounts fascinating aquatic phenomena alongside the sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic stories of animals she has known.

Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.

Potent and timely lessons on healing and connection—both individually and collectively—through the wisdom and magic of honeybees, written by beloved equity educators, authors, and beekeepers Michelle Cassandra Johnson and Amy Burtaine.

We all know the importance of mothers. They are typically as paramount in the wild as they are in human relationships. But what about fathers? In most mammals, fathers have little to no involvement in raising their offspring—and sometimes even kill the offspring sired by other fathers. How, then, can we explain modern fathers having the capacity to be highly engaged parents? In Father Nature, James Rilling explores how humans have evolved to endow modern fathers with this potential and considers why this capacity evolved in humans.

No eres solo humano, eres un universo de bacterias con más poder sobre ti del que crees…¡úsalo a tu favor! "El camino hacia la salud microbiana no es tarea sencilla. Sin embargo, con valentía, constancia, determinación y el apoyo de profesionales capacitados, lograrás que sea posible". ¿Sabías que en nuestro cuerpo existen más de 38 billones de bacterias? ¿Y que si las agrupamos conforman al menos mil especies distintas? Están en todas partes: en los intes¬tinos, en la boca, en el aparato reproductor, en toda nuestra piel.

We are surrounded by big claims for how to enhance our immunity. But the one thing the science is clear on is that everyone's immune system is entirely unique. So how do we tell the myths from the facts? And is there anything we can actually do to benefit our immune health? World-leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis has the answers in this truly authoritative and highly accessible, myth-busting guide to the effects of stress, age, exercise, weight, nutrition, sleep and mental health on our immune health.

Carlos López-Otín, prominente figura en el ámbito de la bioquímica y la biología molecular y autor de la exitosa Trilogía de la vida, nos propone un nuevo enfoque científico centrado en la medicina de la salud, y nos desvela los secretos para fomentarla y lograr el necesario equilibrio físico y mental.

"Case Based Medical Microbiology" authored by Dr. Tanmay Mehta is an innovative and comprehensive resource meticulously designed to demystify the intricate realm of medical microbiology. The book employs a unique pedagogical approach that enhances understanding and facilitates the recall of complex concepts. Each chapter commences with a carefully crafted case study, providing pertinent clues, emphasized in bold, that guide the reader towards the diagnosis. This is succeeded by a section detailing the most probable diagnosis derived from the case study. The subsequent section elucidates the...

Did you know that it has been shown in hundreds of Biology experiments that the rate of reproduction in an animal directly depends upon its rate of aging? If we increase the rate of reproduction, the rate of aging also increases! Did you know that there exist experiments done on male primates proving that ejaculate is costly for them in significant way, in the form of energy? Did you know that if a lactating female lacks some nutrients in her diet; her body erodes itself to enrich her milk so that the offspring does not have to suffer? But the theory of Celibacy is not so simple. For ...
