Reproduction by Steve Parker

Reproduction by Steve Parker

This book considers reproduction as a central feature of all living things and a hallmark of life itself. It looks at the reproductive systems of men and women, showing how the parts of each system link together for the process of reproduction. The book traces the stages in the development of a new individual, from the merging of male and female genetic material to birth and beyond. The text explains these systems clearly. It also highlights the workings of the human body contrasted with the bodies of animals. There are case studies and features on health and medicine. Amazing colour photographs combine with original colour artwork. Weblinks, with useful website addresses which link to sites with more information about a particular topic, are an added feature throughout the book.

All these titles are fascinating, insightful and informativeThe series is an excellent resource for more able key stage 2 scientists, though intended for KS3. Each title develops its subject matter through straightforward text and clearly detailed illustrations and photographs. Together with a comprehensive contents, index and well chosen web links, this allows readers to engage with the text independently. -- TES 20041022
