Biology

In over 7,600 entries, this dictionary covers all aspects of plant sciences from genomics to horticulture and phylogenetics to taxonomy.

This volume is a comprehensive reference work on the life, labors and influence of the great evolutionist Charles Darwin.

This book covers specific adaptations from all forms of life, including animals, plants, bacteria, algae, fungi, and viruses. For each adaptation, the book also describes a related technological breakthrough in the human world, showing how engineers today study natural processes to help them develop new inventions.

The Encyclopedia of Ecology provides an authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the complete field of ecology, from general to applied.

Contains >370 articles that provide a detailed and synthetic overview of theory and research in evolutionary biology.

Geobiology strives to identify cause-and-effect chains and synergisms between the geo- and the biospheres that have been driving evolution of life in modern and ancient environments.
