THE first place to go for information on topics in the life sciences. It includes 4,200 peer-reviewed articles written by leaders in the field to provide comprehensive and authoritative coverage, aimed at researchers, students and teachers alike. All articles are accompanied by color illustrations and tables. Appendix and glossary material provide essential information for the non-specialist, including biochemical and taxonomic information, acronyms, synonyms, units and other technical data. Importantly, since all articles have been peer-reviewed a balanced representation of the literature is ensured. Articles are divided into three different categories, which indicate their level of complexity: Introductory, Advanced and Keynote. Introductory articles have been written primarily for undergraduate and non-specialists requiring the basic concepts of a particular subject. Advanced articles provide a more detailed discussion of specialist subjects, equivalent to that found in graduate level texts. Keynote articles provide a platform for debate where controversial issues and 'hot topics' can be discussed.
