- An exciting series of bioscience revision guides, written to help students achieve exam success.
- Written by a group of highly-experienced educators to give students the best possible support during their learning and exam preparation.
- Succinct writing style and clear, bulleted presentation make the material presented quick and easy to assimilate.
- Carefully-developed artwork supports visual learners, and reinforces key points made in the text.
- Extensive support for active learning - through in-text questions, and flashcard glossary and multiple-choice question apps - enable students to check their learning as they proceed.
The Thrive in Bioscience revision guides are written to help students achieve exam success in all core areas of bioscience.
Each title encourages the reader to follow four steps to maximise their learning, with features to support this process.
Step One: Review the facts
The revision guides are designed to help learning be quick and effective:
· Information is set out in bullet points, making it easy to digest.
· Clear, uncluttered illustrations illuminate
what is said in the text.
· Key concept panels summarise the essential learning points.
Step 2: Check your understanding
Readers are encouraged to:
· Complete the questions at the end of chapters and online multiple-choice questions to reinforce their learning.
· Use the flashcard app to master the essential terms and phrases.
Step 3: Take note of extra advice
Revision tips, and hints for getting those precious extra marks in exams, are presented throughout.
Step 4: Go the extra mile
Readers can explore the suggestions for further reading to take their understanding one step further.
Each title in the series is tailored to maximise
understanding and achievement, to ensure that the reader really can thrive in their studies. They are the perfect course companions for any bioscience degree.
Each title in the series is accompanied by the following digital resources:
A flashcard glossary app, enabling the user to test their understanding of key terminology;
A bank of interactive MCQs, giving users a hands-on way to check they have fully understood the concepts presented.Readership: Undergraduate students following any bioscience or bioscience-related degree programme of which cell biology is a part.

Her major research interests are cancer biology and stem cell biology. She teaches many aspects of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and has written several textbooks on the Biological Sciences for Chinese readers and is co-editor of Biomedical Science Practice (OUP, 2010).
Dr Chris Smith was formerly a Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry at the Manchester Metropolitan University, where he taught biochemistry and cell & molecular biology at all levels. He has written and edited several undergraduate texts, including contributions to Biomedical Science Practice (OUP, 2010) and Clinical Biochemistry (OUP, 2010).
Emma Davis studied Biochemistry at UMIST and is a Quality Assurance Technician for the UK DNA Banking Network at the University of Manchester. She is currently involved in research to standardize biobank processes and develop techniques to ensure the quality of biological samples for research purposes. These interests have resulted in published research papers and oral presentations.
