Dr. Paul Sanghera, the best selling author of several books in science and technology, presents more than 300 flashcards in this book. It helps you master the core biology concepts and prepare for the AP Biology exam while learning the basic concepts: two in one. These flashcards are a great reference to basic biology concepts, quick review of your biology knowledge, and a great test for your readiness for the AP Biology exam. All the important concepts and terms are covered. Special features: *All the important concepts and terms for basic biology and the AP Biology exam are covered. *The depth and style of coverage makes these flashcards indexes into your memory so that if you go through these flash cards after reading a study guide, it's equivalent to going through the study guide once again, only in much less time. *The flashcards are student-friendly and self-contained and no reference to any other book is made. This means these cards work with any book and independent of any book. * These flashcards come in a book, not in a box of loose cards; so these are much easier to manage than those loose cards. No more loose cards, no more lost cards. *This book is designed as a convenient and portable reference for on-the-go studying. You can take it anywhere and use it when a time window becomes available. You will find it as a good and useful reference even after the exam for basic biology concepts.

Joan Slonczewski's A Door into Ocean is the novel upon which the author's reputation as an important SF writer principally rests. A ground-breaking work both of feminist SF and of world-building hard SF, it concerns the Sharers of Shora, a nation of women on a distant moon in the far future who are pacifists, highly advanced in biological sciences, and who reproduce by parthenogenesis--there are no males--and tells of the conflicts that erupt when a neighboring civilization decides to develop their ocean world, and send in an army.
