This text has been written for students of Advanced human biology courses or the vocational equivalent. It is divided into seven easy-to-use sections. Each begins with an introductory overview which looks at basic principles, provides a revision summary and outlines the organization of the chapter. Case studies and application boxes put everything into the context of the real world, and there is a strong emphasis on factual information. A skills section provides advice on: IT skills; study skills; numeracy; scientific investigations; and chemistry. Past examination questions at the end of sections can be used for practice and revision.
