OCR A2 biology textbooks?

I'm searching for textbooks that deal specifically with OCR Biology modules 2805/01 Growth, development %26amp; reproduction and 2806 unifying concepts. All help gratfeully received but if you can supply ISBN's that would be ideal.





Thanks|||The only book that I know of that deals with the 2805 module is the core textbook, printed by Cambridge university press and possibly written by Mary Jones, assuming it is the same author as for the other textbooks in this collection. These are the textbooks used, before the Essential AS and A2 ones came out, to which the optional modules are not accounted for. the ISBN is 0521787211 and the website for purchasing on Amazon is http://www.amazon.co.uk/Development-Repr鈥?/a> Alternatively, you could get a larger textbook, covering all areas of A-level, e.g. A2 level biology, ISBN 0582429455, Longman publishing.





For unifying concepts, of course the best thing to do is go over what you have learnt in previous modules. Collins does a revision guide that is designed for practising the unifying concepts exam, the ISBN being 0-00-712422-8.





Other books I found useful for going over general topics (I am a previous A-level biologist, OCR syllabus):





Revise AS Biology, Heinemann, ISBN ? (the cover to the book I have has disappeared)


Revise A2 Biology, Heinemann, ISBN 0435583018


Complete A-Z Biology Handbook, Bill Indge, Hodder and Stoughton Publishing, ISBN 034087273X





There are workbooks by Philip Allan Updates,covering different biological areas. There is a revision guide by CGP that is generalistic and is ideal for a summary of information.





All the best for your studies!!
