No. 8204E The Origin and Evolution of Life (Short Version) NEW. The theory of evolution, that means the history of the descent of organisms, is regarded now as a basic, general and suggestive biological theory. The transparency atlas presents current facts and ideas in order to acquaint the student with the most important views and models of evolution. The arrangement of the series is based on a general conception. The order in principle corresponds to the description of three fundamental subjects of evolution: Problem of the self-organization of bio-systems, the problem of the reconstruction of phylogenies, and the problem of species variation. Contents: 39 Overhead-Transparencies, size 22 x 28 cm, comprising 105 color pictures, mostly with several component figures (drawings, diagrams, anatomical pictures, photomicro- and macrographs, nature photographs, life cycles, scenes of landscape, fossils, test data and results) . The color pictures were prepared by university illustrators specializing in this field. The application of a strong, hard-wearing carrier foil warrants great durability. Sketch and work-sheets with semidiagrammatic designs and texts. Teacher may take photocopies from the sheets and use for classroom work and tests. Manual with depictured explanatory comments for the teacher. All in strong plastic file with ring-mechanism. Stellar, Chemical, and Organic Evolution.
