For undergraduate courses in Evolution By presenting evolutionary biology as a dynamic, ongoing research effort and organising discussions around questions, this best-selling text helps students think like scientists as they learn about evolution. The authors convey the excitement and logic of evolutionary science by introducing principles through recent and classical studies, and by emphasising real-world applications. In the 5th Edition, co-author Jon Herron takes the lead in streamlining a...

Het onderscheid tussen links en rechts beheerst op allerlei manieren ons dagelijkse leven. En toch is het zelfs voor wetenschappers moeilijk om aan te geven waar het verschil in zit. In De andere linkerkant laat Tijs Goldschmidt zien hoe biologen en psychologen, maar ook kunstenaars en alle andere links- en rechtshandigen proberen hier greep op te krijgen. Over links en rechts wordt iedereen voordurend gedwongen na te denken, maar zonder goed te weten wat het is.

De andere linkerkant is gebas...

De evolutie van de mens staat meer dan ooit in de belangstelling, en nieuwe wetenschappelijke inzichten buitelen over elkaar heen. Wat weten we nu precies over onze voorouders? Hoe werkt evolutie eigenlijk, wat is de rol van onze genen in deze ontwikkeling? Welke overblijfselen van onze voorouders zitten er nog in ons lichaam? En evolueren wij op dit moment?

Met speciale aandacht voor de ontwikkelingsbiologie geven Nico van Straalen en Dick Roelofs een rijk geïllustreerd overzicht van de evo...

Biologie van de psychologie neemt je mee in de fascinerende wisselwerking tussen biologie en psychologie. De mens is een complex wezen, niet alleen gevormd door biologische processen, maar ook door psychologische invloeden. Hoe beïnvloedt onze genetische opmaak ons gedrag? Welke rol speelt ons zenuwstelsel bij het aansturen van gedrag, gedachten en emoties? En hoe ontwikkelen onze hersenen zich, zelfs ver voorbij de volwassenheid?

Dit handboek biedt je unieke blik op hoe het menselijk brein ...

Philosophy of biology is one of the most exciting new areas in philosophy and is attracting much attention from working scientists. This Companion, edited by two of the founders of the field, includes essays by senior scholars and up-and-coming younger scholars who collectively examine the main areas of the subject.

This textbook provides an integrated physical and biochemical foundation for undergraduate students majoring in biology or health sciences. It is particularly suitable for students planning to enter the pharmaceutical industry. This new generation of molecular biologists and biochemists will harness the tools and insights of physics and chemistry to exploit the emergence of genomics and systems-level information in biology, and will shape the future of medicine.

Co-published with the IB to fully align with the new 2023 Biology Subject Guide for first assessments in 2025, with separate Standard Level and Higher Level print and digital student books to ensure that every student has the right content for their learning journey, at the right time. New and updated material with familiar features, including Nature of science, global applications, skills, TOK, key fact and ‘Challenge yourself’ boxes that signpost and extend key learning points and cont...
