Here are the 6 books i would read to get a foundational understanding of biology. Now for those of you who don’t know me; hello, i am a scientist and did my undergraduate in Natural Sciences, which doesnt mean i studied just nature, the course enables you to pick a variety of subjects you want to from physics to biochemistry. I chose mainly biology subjects, eventually specialising in biochemistry. i read a lot of books during that time, and i continue to do so during my phd, so here are the 6 books i would read to attain a foundational level of biology (plus a few bonus books).
