Features: From basic biology knowledge to the latest gene technology, it provides concise and clear introductions. New technologies such as gene therapy, cloning, and regenerative medicine prompt us to revisit biology from the fundamentals and once again explore the fascinating world of life. This series starts from the basics, following a progressive approach, and explains fundamental scientific principles and the latest scientific knowledge in an easy-to-understand manner, emphasizing the development of learning methods and interest. Approach it with questions from your daily life—no need to memorize theorems or rigidly recall formulas. It becomes less tedious and confusing, allowing you to effortlessly enter the magical, interesting, and vibrant world of science. Compared to other natural sciences like chemistry and physics, biology advances at an astonishingly rapid pace. During the writing process of this book, new discoveries emerged in the field of biology, so the author revised the manuscript based on the latest research until more recent findings became available. You may have heard about these biological discoveries from newspapers or TV programs, and such opportunities are becoming increasingly frequent. However, the biology knowledge learned during school years often fails to connect with modern cutting-edge knowledge. The purpose of this book is: to allow readers to revisit the fundamentals of biology while understanding new knowledge. Through this book, readers not only learn what has happened in biology but also gain insights into the thinking methods of the discipline.
