Biology 1 is a title in the new Cambridge Advanced Sciences series. It has been developed specifically for the new specifications for AS Biology for teaching from September 2000 and has been endorsed by OCR for use with the OCR Biology specification A. It contains all of the core material for the first year of study leading to the AS qualification, and covers the three AS modules biology foundation, transport, and human health and disease. In combination with other books in the series it provides full coverage of the Advanced Level specifications. Learning objectives are clearly defined, so that students know exactly what they need to learn. Self-assessment questions (with answers) and exam-style end-of-chapter exercises offer excellent opportunities for independent study. Chapter introductions and summaries provide the basis for structured revision. Full-colour illustration and student-friendly design make the science accessible to all.
