Total bio newb here, Can anyone suggest an easy to digest book on biology ? I am always overwhelmed by the nomenclature while trying to get into biology, and to me it always feels like a field with a lot of rote memorisation (for lack of a better term) for a newbie. Thinking in terms of abstractions, are there some books which stay on a relatively high level of abstraction ? Or is biology a field where you absolutely need to know the specifics of every particular thing in order to understand something ?
