Description

The Thrive in Bioscience revision guides are written to help undergraduate students achieve exam success in all core areas of bioscience. They communicate all the key concepts in a succinct, easy-to-digest way, using features and tools - both in the book and in digital form - to make learning even more effective.

• An exciting series of bioscience revision guides, written to help students achieve exam success.
• Written by a group of highly experienced educators to give students the best possible support during their learning and exam preparation.
• Succinct writing style and clear, bulleted presentation make the material presented quick and easy to assimilate.
• Carefully developed artwork supports visual learners, and reinforces key points made in the text.
