本书是吴庆余编著的《基础生命科学》的英文版，由加拿大McMaster University徐建平和清华大学吴庆余教授共同编写，是国内自编的第一本全彩色、面向大学本科学生的通识课英文版教材。本书内容简单明了，通俗易懂；基础与前沿并重；从宏观到微观，再由微观回到宏观，既深入浅出，又能既见树木又见森林。不但讲授最基本的生物学知识，还特别介绍了一些著名科学家的实验设计和研究经历，以及他们获得这些知识的实验程，有助于激发学生学习的热情和兴趣。本书语言流畅，适合作为生物科学、生物技术、生物工程等专业的生物专业英语教材和理工、师范、农林、医学院校生命科学导论课程的双语教材，还可供研究人员与高校教师参考。

Jianping Xu received a Bachelor's degree in Agronomy from Jiangxi Agricultural University, a Master's degree in Agricultural Microbiology fiom Nanjing Agricultural University, and a Ph.D. degree in Population Genetics and Evolution from University of Toronto in Canada (1997). Following 3.5 years of Postdoctoral training at Duke University in North Carolina, USA, he moved to the Department of Biology at McMaster University in Canada to become an independent investigator. He is currently an associate professor and his research focuses on understanding how microbes evolve. He has (co-) authored over 40 peer-reviewed research papers, 7 book chapters, and is editing a book titled Evolutionam Genetics of Fungi. He is the recipient of an Ontario Premier's Research Excellence Award (2002-2007) and the Young Investigator's Award of the Genetics Society of Canada (2005).
