【内容简介】

本书是吴庆余编著的《基础生命科学》的英文版，由加拿大McMasterUniversity徐建平和清华大学吴庆余教授共同编写，是国内自编的第一本全彩色、面向大学本科学生的通识课英文版教材。本书内容简单明了，通俗易懂；基础与前沿并重；从宏观到微观，再由微观回到宏观，既深入浅出，又能既见树木又见森林。不但讲授最基本的生物学知识，还特别介绍了一些著名科学家的实验设计和研究经历，以及他们获得这些知识的实验程，有助于激发学生学习的热情和兴趣。本书语言流畅，适合作为生物科学、生物技术、生物工程等专业的生物专业英语教材和理工、师范、农林、医学院校生命科学导论课程的双语教材，还可供研究人员与高校教师参考。
