Abstract
(1) IN the preface to his book, Mr. Brimble writes that "the teaching of biology is still in the experimental stage, and thus the completely satisfying course which covers the period allocated to it in secondary schools is still to be formulated". It is inherent in the nature of progress that this completely satisfying course may never be attained, but it stands to the author's credit that here, as in his "Intermediate Botany", he has made a valuable contribution to biology teaching. "A School Course of Biology"bravely attempts to deal with biology as a whole science in which no use is made of the "convenient" divisions into botany, zoology and physiology. The other general feature of importance is that the elements of human biology are liberally distributed throughout the text, and here lies the reason for much of the intrinsic value and attractiveness of the book. (1) A School Course of Biology With Suggestions for Practical and Field Work. By L. J. F. Brimble. Pp. x + 470. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1939.) 6s.
