Learn about the dis­cov­ery of cells; com­pare the cells of plants, ani­mals, fun­gi, and bac­te­ria; and explore the inner work­ings of the cell and how they func­tion in the body. Full col­or dia­grams and stun­ning real-world pho­tog­ra­phy help bring the sci­ence to life.

Behind the Book

“While research­ing this book, I learned about a great project at Yer­ing­ton High School in Yer­ing­ton, Neva­da. Stu­dents are trap­ping sage grouse, col­lect­ing their blood, and study­ing the DNA inside their cells to deter­mine the range of the endan­gered south­ern pop­u­la­tion. Their results will help law­mak­ers decide how to pro­tect the birds. I inter­viewed two stu­dents and was impressed by their knowl­edge and dedication.”
