Selected Biology Advance Level Topics (Volume 2)


Book Description

This book takes a look outside the box in many Biological subject areas. That is not to say that only Ôoutside the boxÕ topics are addressed. The student will find that the understanding of other topics is strengthened by a more liberal approach, looking in greater detail than would generally be done in the normal text book. Furthermore, a Ôstep-by-stepÕ approach has been adopted for many topics, where tricky concepts are built upon brick-by-brick. This two volume publication is mainly aimed at advance level Biology students, but there is much that can be read Ð and enjoyed Ð by students yet to prepare for their advanced studies. As with ÔEasy as you GoÕ this publication is therefore ideally suited to student, educator and parent alike because of its simplistic, down-to-earth approach, supported by a multitude of visual aids.




Selected Biology Advance Level Topics (Volume 1)


Book Description

This book, of a two book set, takes a look outside the box in many Biological subject areas. That is not to say that only 'outside the box' topics are addressed. The student will find that the understanding of other topics is strengthened by a more liberal approach, looking in greater detail than would generally be done in the normal text book. Furthermore, a 'step-by-step' approach has been adopted for many topics, where tricky concepts are built upon brick-by-brick. Needless to say, there are plenty of illustrations to help bring ideas across to the student. This two volume publication is mainly aimed at advance level Biology students, but there is much that can be read - and enjoyed - by students yet to prepare for their advanced studies. As with its sister publication, 'Easy as you Go', this publication is ideally suited to student, educator and parent alike because of its simplistic, down-to-earth approach, supported by a multitude of visual aids.




Easy as you Go (Volume 2 - M to Z)


Book Description

'Easy as you Go' was originally intended to be solely a support for the learning of Mathematics. However it has evolved into something more than just that. The two volumes are packed with a total of 950 pages of mathematics, covering no less than 230 topics and containing a multitude of worked examples, equations and formulas, graphs and charts, tables, diagrams and illustrations. Together, the two volumes address all the significant issues encountered in First School, Secondary School and in Advanced studies, along with a plethora of anecdotal topics to capture the reader's imagination, and titivate their perhaps otherwise sanguine attitude towards Mathematics. 'Easy as you Go' is ideally suited to student, educator and parent alike because of its simplistic, down-to-earth and visual approach.




Tall Grows the Grass (Book 1 - 'Early Years')


Book Description

This Book One of a trilogy follows the life of one Johnny Duggan. This part covers his formative years. Johnny was born just before the start of the Second World War. His life as a young boy was somewhat controlled by his father. At preparatory school, moreover, he found that he was bullied by one particular ruffian and, later on at college, by two others. When he left school, he found that bullying was not necessarily limited only to educational establishments. Constantly being goaded by his parents, he made up his mind to find a new life for himself in Africa. The Second book follows his life as it unfolds in the then brand new independent country of Zambia. It follows the twists and turns that Johnny encounters before he returns to the United Kingdom. The Third book follows Johnny to Switzerland and then back to Africa, firstly to South West Africa (now Namibia), and then to South Africa and the USA before he finally returns to the United Kingdom to hang up his roving shoes. But that is not the end!




Tall Grows the Grass (Book 2 - 'African Experience')


Book Description

Johnny Duggan joined a bank in the newly independent country of Zambia, and soon found that life in Africa was quite different to that back in England. He soon found himself embroiled in a sequence of events that followed him up to the desolate Northern Province in Zambia where life took on a quicker pace than that in England. Johnny became drawn into what turned out to be a wide-spread conspiracy which one of Johnny's bank colleagues had to be brought into. Greed, however, took the better of his colleague and he was forced to take flight from Zambia with unfortunate consequences. Johnny finally returned to England and the lacklustre life from which he had earlier escaped.




Applications of Genetics


Book Description

In the comparatively short time since 1953 there have been ground-breaking discoveries that have changed the way we look at ourselves, and have been instrumental in addressing many of the problems associated with 'genetic diseases' in general. A new vocabulary has evolved in the light of these discoveries. Intron, exon, prion, hox, codon, polymerase, epistasis, gyandromorph, telomere, Morgellon's, BRCA and many others have crept into the vocabulary and are being used more and more. The study of Genetics can be very daunting for a student embarking on the adventure for the very first time. This book is intended, initially, to cover much of the syllabus for A-Level and High School studies, but because of the simple language, tables and graphics, however, the subject matter will be easily absorbed by, and be of great interest to, the comparative lay persons among us.




A-star Question Bank (Mathematics) (With Solutions)


Book Description

This book presents over 100 A-star problems which you may find in any GCSE Mathematics examination paper. The book comes in two 'flavours', one book contains the 'problems only' and the other with the 'same problems but accompanied by the solutions'. One is suitable as a class-book and for homework, whilst the other for self-study and enrichment. The choice is yours.




Atoms and Fundamental Particles


Book Description

This book represents a 'snapshot' in time. Tomorrow we will discover something new about the humble atom which may modify or even radically change the paradigms we have held so sacrosanct until then. It is hoped, though, that it will present sufficient ground-work as to provide a spring-board to students in their quest for a greater understanding of the atom and of its fundamental particles. It is also hoped that a more profound understanding of the nature of life may also be gained as well as raise begging questions which have not here-to-for been entertained. It is intended to cover much of the syllabus for A-Level and High School studies. Because of the simple language, tables and diagrams however, the subject matter will be easily absorbed by, and be of great interest to, the comparative lay persons among us.
