Short description

Endorsed by CIE and updated to reflect changes in the CIE syllabus.

Long description

Biology: AS level and A level meets the requirements of the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) syllabuses for AS level and A level Biology, and is endorsed by CIE for use with these examinations. In one volume, this textbook covers the complete AS level syllabus, the core A Level syllabus and the new Applications of Biology section. Each chapter starts with a list of learning objectives. Questions throughout the text reinforce students' understanding, and the past examinations questions help with revision. The accessible language means that the material is suitable for all students, including those for whom English is not their first language.
