Biology Doesn’t Have to Feel Like Memorizing a Foreign Language.Most people either love biology or dread it, and if you’ve ever felt lost in a sea of unfamiliar terms with no clear thread connecting them, you’re not alone. Biology Basics for the Curious was written specifically for that struggle.Created by an award-winning high school biology teacher alongside two PhD biologists; one a former Senior Research Fellow on a Presidential Commission reporting to the U.S. Congress, this book reframes biology not as an endless list of facts to memorize, but as a single unfolding story: the story of life on Earth, from the first cell to the CRISPR-edited genomes of today.Inside, you’ll find:A clear, non-technical walkthrough of cell theory, genetics, evolution, and taxonomyThe scientific method explained through real research (including the discovery of insulin)Human anatomy and physiology connected back to core biological principlesCoverage of cutting-edge topics like gene editing, synthetic biology, and the Human Genome Project’s legacyMemory aids, mnemonics, and a dedicated appendix on how to actually study biology effectively75+ figures, tables, and illustrations designed to make complex ideas visual and memorableWhether you’re a high school or AP Biology student, a homeschooling parent, a pre-med student needing a confidence-building refresher, or simply someone who wants to finally understand how living systems work, this book was built to be the reference you keep coming back to, dog-eared, highlighted, and useful for years.Biology is everywhere. Understanding it shouldn’t be this hard. Start the story today.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...
  • Advances in Flavivirus Research
    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

  • Brain Asymmetry of Structure and/or Function
    Lesley J. Rogers / Lesley JRogers
    This edited book brings together research reports on the asymmetry of brain function in various species, including humans, dogs, birds, lizards and bees. As shown in a wide range of species, and, as we now know, not solely in humans, the left and right sides of the brain process information in different ways and control different responses or patterns of behaviour. Since this d...

  • The Epithelialto- Mesenchymal Transition ( EMT ) in Cancer
    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...

  • The Biology and Treatment of Myeloid Leukaemias
    There has been an observed decrease in the global mortality from cancer, mostly atributable to improved, particularly early, detection and prevention. For many carcinomas and leukaemias in adults, once the disease has reached a certain stage there are no therapies that are able to erradicate the cancer cells and cure patients. There has been progress in the treatment of acute m...
