The biology of the human species attracts enormous interest, not only from students of human biology but also from readers in the general public. The new edition of The Essential Dictionary of Human Biology brings together in one volume over 3500 definitions of terms relating to all areas of human biology, including anatomy, physiology, biotechnology, anthropology, archaeology, demography, nutrition, genetics and molecular biology. Revised and updated to support the new Human Perspectives series, the second edition includes entries of the new terminology used across all six units of the Human Biology course in Western Australia. It will also meet the needs of senior secondary students in other states, undergraduates and anyone interested in the science of human biology.

Features:

Clear and comprehensive definitions using everyday language wherever possible
Alternatives for the many terms in this discipline that have synonyms
A large number of diagrams
Summary tables where appropriate, such as those for hormones and for vitamins
Comprehensive cross-referencing so that further information about a word can be obtained if required
Use of common names in entries (with the scientific term in brackets) so that obtaining a definition for one word does not require reference to several entries
Inclusion of Australian examples where appropriate
