Life Processes (The Web of Life) - Softcover

There are six titles in this seres of 'The Web of Life'. This title looks at the basics of life, including movement, respiration, nutrition, excretion, reproduction and growth in a very ordered, sensible an educational manner. It uses colour photographs and colour diagrams to show what happens in cells, inside plants or animals, or under the microscope about how systems work. There is also some comparative biology, all aimed at about 8-12 years of age. An index, glossary and further sources of information make this a nicely rounded book. --John Feltwell, School Librarian magazine Spring 2012
