This book takes the reader on a journey of discovery through the biological world. It covers many important aspects of this vast subject, ranging from the biological molecules so vital for life, to whole populations of organisms and how they interact with each other. It also introduces some of the fundamental principles underpinning biology along the journey. It demonstrates that modern biology relies on an understanding of life at all levels and that without an integrated approach to biology many important questions would remain unanswered.
