    • Provides a philosophical analysis of such biological concepts as natural selection, adaptation, speciation, and evolution.
    • Describes the discipline's history, explains its basic theories and concepts, demonstrates modern methods and research tools, and discusses noteworthy discoveries.
    • The social, environmental, and technological aspects of biology are discussed throughout the book and students are encouraged to explore topics in depth through investigational and practical work.

Biological sciences have developed rapidly through the last decades. This progress is related with a growing importance of biological knowledge for personal and social decision-making (e.g. in relation to genetic engineering, nature conservation, environmental protection, sustainable development). Biology contributes a vital role in the understanding of multifaceted forms of life including humans, animals and plants. Understanding these intricate details of life helps humans understand how to care for themselves, animals and plants in the proper manner. Biology helps individuals understand the interaction between humanity and the world. It also develops interests in the lives of living organisms in an effort to preserve them. Through learning we get to identify and relate to different concepts, systems and processes in our bodies. The knowledge gained through biology has promoted an understanding of how to grow plants, manage soil quality and conserve forests and other flora. Farmers rearing livestock as a result of animal husbandry and growing high-yield and disease-resistant crops are further examples of how biology is used in everyday life. From knowledge gained through biological sciences, the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries derive compounds from plants to use in their products. People wanting to grow thriving, pest- and disease-free plants in their gardens are also guided by the discoveries made through biology.

    • shows how cells and organisms work.
    • tells us about our body, helping us to develop cures and treatments for many diseases.
    • also tells us about the bodies of other animals and it can provide clinical treatment for farm animals and also pets.
    • tells us about plants and how they can be beneficial to human life. Biology gives us a method to classify animals and help us understand animals.
    • gives us a thorough picture of human body and the organisms inside us, also about the metabolism and other processes inside the human body.
    • also tells us about the behavioral acts of humans and animals
