Exam Preparation

This book presents a clear and current understanding of the ecological world, and how individual citizens can participate in practical decisions on ecological issues. It tackles such issues as global warming, ecology and health, organic farming, species extinction and adaptation, and endangered species.

This dictionary covers classical disciplines (botany, zoology, bacteriology, mineralogy, paleontology, etc.), while focusing particularly on concepts, strategies, and methodologies.

Accessible via the Internet, the American Board’s Biology Refresher Course contains more than 300 pages of material and was designed to help you review your knowledge for the biology exam. The course is self-paced, allowing you to dedicate more time to material that needs intense review and skip over material you already know. The course incorporates animated tutorials and activities, chapter quizzes, detailed lessons and illustrations, and a video demonstration component.

Enrolled candidates can access the course through http://www.abcte.org/courses/biology/index.html using their ABCTE username and password.

During the 20th century, humanity has almost quadrupled its numbers. Although many factors have fostered this unprecedented expansion, its continuation during the past generation would not have been at all possible without a widespread-- yet generally unappreciated-- activity: the synthesis of ammonia. The ready availability of ammonia, and other nitrogen-rich fertilizers derived from it, has effectively done away with what for ages had been a fundamental restriction on food production. The world's population now has enough to eat (on the average) because of numerous advances in modern agricultural practices.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Biology follows a standard biology course curriculum that begins with life, cells, and molecular structure and ends with evolution, ecosystems, and ecology.
