Review: "The Penguin Dictionary of Biology defines some 6,000 terms relating to this expanding subject - from amino acids, bacteria and the cell cycle to X-ray diffraction, Y chromosome and zygotes. Long established as the definitive single-volume source, the dictionary has now been extensively updated for its eleventh edition. With expanded encyclopedic entries to explain the most crucial concepts, is also explores the very latest discoveries and developments." "It contains over 400 new entries to take account of the latest thinking on genetics, human physiology, disease and cell biology; provides in-depth definitions of all key botanical and zoological concepts, as well as the core vocabulary of biochemistry, immunology, palaeoanthropology, evolutionary theory and ecology; ideal for students, teachers, professionals and amateur biologists; and extensively illustrated throughout."--Jacket.
