Description

From New York Times bestselling author Larry Gonick and Davidson College biology professor David Wessner comes this comprehensive and humorous cartoon guide to topics in biology

Did you faint when your middle school science teacher asked you to dissect a frog? Do you think DNA stands for "Don't Know the Answer"? Do you still cling to the belief that osmosis was the name of Ozzy Osbourne's last tour? If you said yes to any of these questions -- or even if you didn't -- then you need The Cartoon Guide to Biology.

The latest from New York Times bestselling author Larry Gonick -- writing with Davidson College biology professor David Wessner -- is a hilarious and informative handbook to the science of life. From the inner workings of the cell, to the magic of gene expression, to the Krebs and Calvin cycles, to sexual and asexual reproduction, this unique graphic novel approach to biology uses simple, clear, humorous illustrations to make the subject's most complex concepts understandable and entertaining. Whether you're peering into the microscope for the first time or brushing up after decades of de-evolution, this accessible science guide has you covered.

A uniquely visual and funny approach to the science of life, this guide breaks down:

• Science Comics Format: Forget dense textbooks. Learn through witty cartoons and humorous illustrations that make every concept stick.
