Biosciences, i.e. the branches of natural science dealing with the structure and behaviours of living being were known variously as ‘natural history’, natural philosophy, and natural theology. The past of bioscience traces the study of the living world from ancient to modern times. Although the concept of biology as a single coherent field arose in the 19th century, the biological sciences emerged from traditions of medicine and natural history reaching back to Galen and Aristotle in ancient Greece. During the Renaissance and early modern period, biological thought was revolutionized by a renewed interest in empiricism and the discovery of many novel organisms. The present book is invented as a handbook, surrounding all concise basic information about biosciences. Essentially meant for students, teachers and researchers in field of zoology, botany, agriculture, ecology, environment and physics, this will prove all to one and all concerned.
