How can all these big numbers and concepts make more sense? Infographics! The charts, maps, and illustrations in this book tell a visual story to help you to better understand key concepts about life science. Crack open this book to explore mind-boggling questions such as: how do organisms evolve over millions of years? How does DNA determine what you will look like? Why are so many species struggling to survive today? The answers are sure to be life expanding!
