The book Essentials of Life Science is designed to center to the needs of those who want to know more and more about  Life Science. The book consists of 12 chapters. The colourful illustrations provide a lucid explanation of life and life sciences, the chemical basis of life, the cell as the basic structural unit of living organisms, energy and metabolism, the laws and molecular basis of inheritance development, evolution plants and their structure and function, animals, their structure and function, human health and diseases, and
biotechnology and the future of humanity. The broad array of innovative print and technology resources, Life Science helps to teachers differentiate and accommodate all learners. Life offers balanced experimental coverage; this second edition has been
updated with the latest scientific research, a new contemporary design and cutting-edge teaching and learning support to engage
