Its Here! The AP® Biology Program Youve Been Asking For.

Biology for the AP® Course, 1st Edition grew out of a belief that the AP® Biology classroom could benefit from a textbook that matches the goals and organization of the course. Although the course content is the equivalent of a first year college biology course, AP® teachers and students face unique challenges. This book is designed to provide the rigor expected for the course, while addressing the need for careful pacing. It provid...

Evolved from McQuarrie and Simon's best-selling textbook, Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, this text focuses in on the thermodynamics portion of the course. Although many of the chapters in Molecular Thermodynamics are similar to chapters in the larger physical chemistry text, new material has been added throughout along with three entirely new chapters on "The Energy Levels of Atoms and Molecules", "Thermodynamics of Electrochemical Cells", and "Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics". The t...

Dit schitterend geïllustreerde boek bespreekt de belangrijkste vondsten uit de paleontologie. Ook de onderzoekers zelf komen in beeld. David Bainbridge begint zijn verhaal in de oudheid, toen fossielvondsten nog leidden tot de wildste speculaties over mythische dieren. Pas in de achttiende eeuw werd paleontologie een serieuze wetenschap. Inmiddels werken paleontologen met de modernste (DNA-)technieken.

De belangrijkste paleontologen staan samen met hun mooiste vondsten in dit boek. Als dit p...

Darwins boek over koraalriffen is het eerste boek gewijd aan één onderwerp dat hij schreef na zijn verslag van zijn reis met de Beagle. Het is ook het eerste van zijn drie geologische boeken. De andere twee handelen over vulkanische eilanden en de geologie van Zuid-Amerika.

In dit boek gaat Darwin uitgebreid in op de drie door hem onderscheiden klassen van koraalriffen, hun bouw, ontstaan en verspreiding.

Hij werkte twintig maanden aan het noest verzamelen van gegevens over koraalriffen ui...

Kepler's "Dioptrice" is a seminal work in the fields of optics and astronomy. Written in response to the ground-breaking telescopic discoveries announced by Galileo Galilei in March 1610, the "Dioptrice" contained the first theory of the telescope—a theory that Kepler was uniquely qualified to develop—and provided an essential foundation for modern geometrical optics.

In the preface, Kepler highlights several examples of the close links which, then as now, exist between optics and astro...
