Practical Skills in Biology (7th Edition) by Allan Jones, Rob Reed, and Jonathan Weyers is an essential guide for biology students looking to master practical skills in laboratory and fieldwork. This edition provides clear, step-by-step guidance on essential techniques, from experimental design and data analysis to microscopy, molecular methods, and ecological surveys.
With updated content on health and safety, ethical considerations, and digital tools for biology, it serves as both a comprehensive reference and hands-on manual. Ideal for undergraduates, this book equips readers with the practical expertise needed to succeed in modern biological research and education.
The primary goal in revising Practical Skills in Biology was to bring the content up-to-date while addressing valuable feedback from reviewers of the 6th edition. This led to restructured chapters and the addition of significant new material.
Key changes include (1) reordering and revising chapters in the first two sections; (2) introducing three new chapters on bacteria, eukaryotic microbes, and viruses; (3) adding a chapter on biomolecule assays; and (4) updating content on software and online resources, acknowledging the advanced digital skills of today’s students.
The text now uses a more active, positive tone to support engaged learning. Updated references, recommended readings, and popular study exercises remain, helping students practice and reinforce skills. The book is organized into sections:
- Chapters 1–8 cover general skills, such as self-management, teamwork, learning techniques, and source evaluation.
- Chapters 9–18 focus on assessment, addressing written assignments, presentations, exams, and projects.
- Chapters 19–73 present a range of lab skills and techniques, from basic methods to advanced procedures.
- Chapters 74–80 detail data analysis and presentation, including graphing, tables, and statistical testing with examples.
Each chapter includes exercises and problems for students to verify their understanding and practice essential calculations, either independently, with a tutor, or in study groups.
