Examining the scope of biology is not a simple task, especially given the fact that Earth hosts over 10 million species. Introduction to Life Science, the opening title in an eight-volume series entitled BioBasics (series price: $649.95), combines interviews of various scientific experts (it's nice to see women and ethnic minorities featured here) together with fine computer graphics to serve up a solid overview of biology. In addition to a quick refresher on the how the scientific method works, the program examines the hierarchical organization of life, points out milestones in the history of biology (such as the publishing of Darwin's theories regarding evolution), and touches on biology's relationship to other disciplines, including ecology, genetics, neuroscience, and paleontology. Other titles in the series include: Cells: The Building Blocks of Life, Genetics and Evolution, Organization and Diversity, and Microorganisms. Recommended. Aud: J, H. (E. Gieschen)
