Summary

Charged by its Royal Charter to promote biology and its understanding, the Institute of Biology recognises that it is not possible for any one text book to cover the entirety of a course. If evidence was needed, the success of the Studies in Biology series was a testimony to the need for specialist, up-to-date publications in education. The Institute is therefore pleased to collaborate with Cambridge University Press in producing a new title in the Studies in Biology series.

The new series is set to provide as great a boon to the new generation of students as the original did to their parents.

Suggestions and comments from readers will always be welcomed and should be addressed either to the Studies in Biology Editorial Board at Cambridge University Press or c/o The Books Committee at the Institute.
