商品簡介
The Thrive in Bioscience guides are written to help students achieve exam success in all core areas of bioscience.
Each title in the series encourages students to follow four simple steps to maximize learning potential:
Step 1: Review the facts
The revision guides are designed to make learning quick and effective:
* Information is set out in bullet points, making content easy to take in.
* Clear, uncluttered illustrations illuminate key points.
* Key concept panels summarize essential learning points.
Step 2: Check your understanding
Students are encouraged to:
* Complete the questions at the end of chapters and answer online multiple-choice questions to reinforce their learning.
* Use the online flashcard app to master essential terms and phrases.
Step 3: Take note of extra advice
Revision tips--and hints for getting higher grades on exams--are presented throughout.
Step 4: Go the extra mile
Students can explore the suggestions for further reading to take their understanding one step further.
Features of the Thrive in Bioscience Series:
* Written by a group of highly experienced educators
* Succinct writing style and clear, bulleted presentation
* Carefully developed artwork that reinforces key points
* Extensive in-text pedagogy--including review questions--that supports active learning
* Companion website resources--including interactive flashcards and multiple-choice review questions

作者簡介
Dr Lynne Cox is a Lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford, where her research interests lie in DNA, how it is copied accurately and how this is co-ordinated within the cell division cycle. Lynne is also a Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, and Tutor in Biochemistry.
Dr David Harris is the Director of Teaching in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford, and Fellow and Tutor in Biochemistry at St Anne's College, Oxford. David carried out his DPhil research at the University of Amsterdam, and returned to Oxford to take up the Weir Junior Research Fellow at University College. He then was appointed to a University lectureship at Leeds University, where he taught from 1979 to 1986. He returned to Oxford to take up the EP Abraham Cephalosporin Fellowship in Biochemistry at St Anne's.
Dr Catherine Pears is a lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford, where her research focuses on genetic approaches to understanding the biochemical pathways that lead to changes in cell behaviour in response to extracellular signals. Catherine is also a Fellow of University College, Oxford, and Tutor in Biochemistry.
