Medical professionals will be able to connect the science of biology to their own lives through the stunning visuals in Visualising Human Biology. The important concepts of human biology are presented as they relate to the world we live in. The role of the human in the environment is stressed throughout, ensuring that topics such as evolution, ecology, and chemistry are introduced in a non-threatening and logical fashion. Illustrations and visualisation features are help make the concepts easier to understand. Medical professionals will appreciate this visual and concise approach.
