520			_a"The Story of Biology' traces the development of biology from its origins in myths invented to explain the wonders and perils of the natural world, through the first attempts at empirical investigation, to the highly structured and technical discipline it has become today. The story of biology is the ultimate narrative of discovery. It tells how humankind has explored and examined the myriad forms of life on Earth, constantly uncovering new treasures. This book traces our understanding of the natural world, from its origins in myth and untested belief, through the development of the experimental method, to modern science. It also follows the change of perspective from viewing nature as a resource to be exploited, to recognizing it as a complex web of organisms worthy of respect and conservation." --Provided by the publisher
