Core Concepts: Biology - School Library Journal
A deep dive for science enthusiasts looking to go beyond the classroom and dig into the meat of foundational topics like microbiology and evolution. Science history from critical discoveries to past inaccuracies are shared alongside detailed explanations of concepts. There is a beautiful biodiversity that goes behind animals and plants to look into the full complex world of spores and microbes. Mixed media of historical images, photographs, and scientific illustrations are spread across the sections to hold the interest of readers. While it is put into some context, the author revisits the science of evolution versus the religious belief of creationism a bit too often in The Basics of Evolution . VERDICT A robust resource for biology classrooms looking to support their curricula from small to large concepts.
