Environmental Biology offers an accessible introduction to the core elements of biology and the biosphere. With balanced coverage of acquatic and terrestrial examples throughout, the text builds logically to present a clear understanding of the fundamental processes of life before examining its more complex components, namely individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems. A knowledge of environmental biology and its practical applications is essential for a deeper understanding of the environment. Environmental Biology offers an invaluable introduction to the living environment for all areas of study, from environmental history, agriculture and forestry, to impact assessment, climate change, ecology and conservation.

If you are a studying within the biomolecular sciences (including biochemistry, biomedical sciences, biotechnology, genetics, microbiology and molecular biology) then this book will be an indispensable companion throughout the whole of your degree programme. It provides effective support for the development of the laboratory and data analysis skills that you will draw on time and again for the practical aspects of your studies, and also gives you a solid grounding in the broader transferable skills which are increasingly necessary to achieve a high level of academic success. Now in its fourth edition, Practical Skills in Biomolecular Sciences has been enhanced and updated throughout to provide a complete and easy-to-read guide to developing all of the skills you need from your first day through to graduation, establishing its reputation as the practical resource for students of the biomolecular sciences.

"Practical Skills in Biomolecular Science," is an indispensable book for undergraduate students in the life sciences. The book provides useful support at all stages of a degree course and underpins any practical course in biochemistry, biomedical science, genetics, immunology and microbiology. It is also a valuable resource for teachers of biology in colleges adn secondary schools. Laboratory and field studies are essential components of undergraduate training in biomolecular science. Pratcical work must be fully understood and effectively presented, but many students under-perform because they lack basic laboratory skills. This book, now in its second edition, continues to provide students with easy-to-use guidance for laboratory and field studies, but in addition it now covers broader transferable skills. As a result the new edition provides guidace and support over the entire range of a typical undergraduate course in biochemistry and biomedical science.
