| Résumé : |
The science of biology today is not the same science of fifty, twenty five, or even ten years ago, today's accelerated pace of research, aided by new instruments, techniques, and points of view, imparts to biology a rapidly changing character as discoveries pile one on top of the other.
All of us are aware, however, that each new and important discovery is not just a more addition to our knowledge; it also throws our established beliefs into question, and forces us constantly to reap praise and often to reshape the foundations upon which biology rests. An adequate presentation of the dynamic state of modem biology is, therefore, a formidable task and a challenge worthy of our best teachers.
The authors of this series believe that a new approach to the organization of the subject matter of biology is urgently needed to meet this challenge, an approach that introduces the student to biology as a growing, active science, and that also permits each teacher of biology to determine the level and the structure of his own course. A single textbook cannot provide such flexibility, and it is the authors' strong conviction that these student needs and teacher prerogatives can best be met by a series of short, inexpensive, well-written, and well-illustrated books so planned as to encompass those areas of study central to an understanding of the content, state, and direction of modem biology.
The fondations of modern biology series represents the translation of these ideas into print, with each volume being complete in itself yet at the same time serving as an integral part of the series as a whole. |
