Synopses

The DNA Book

This title explores what DNA is and what it does in living things, from plants to animals. It covers inheritance, including why we look like our parents, as well as differences such as eye colour and the process of ageing. It also introduces forensic science and genetic engineering, asking how DNA evidence can help catch criminals and whether dinosaurs could be brought back to life.

The Body Book

A guided look beneath the skin, examining what happens inside the human body. It also looks back at milestones in medicine and introduces recent scientific discoveries about the body.

The Bacteria Book

An introduction to microbiology that focuses on the world of tiny organisms. With photography, quirky characters and fun facts, it links everyday examples such as glowing squid, mouldy bread and soil creatures to the wider microbial world.
