This article, from the American Institute for Biological Sciences, focuses on the general

overview of Biology as a discipline, and as a career. It was written as a response to those who are

generally unaware of the field. This would serve as a good secondary source for my article

because it encompasses all the critical and general aspects for the field of Biology. It features

information on the overview of biology, the disciplines within Biological Science, tips for

prospective High School and College students, salary and career information, as well as

information on where to find more on the concept of Biology and the careers and disciplines

surrounding it. This would serve as a reliable, scholarly, article as it comes from the Official

American Institute for Biological Sciences, a governing organization for peer-review and

validation in the United States as well because it uses many references.

This database, from Arizona State University, features profiles and short biographies of

the Biologists and their research, from various disciplines, throughout their organization. This

was written to inform the reader on various, unique, and informative career, academic, and

research paths that the various scientists have. This serves as a great secondary source for my

article as it encompasses unique and real life stories of how the scientists got their start in the

field as well as the real world issues, theories, and ideas that they incorporate into their academia

and research. This database is a good, reliable source as it uses personal stories about the
Biologists so the validity is very high and relatable through comparison to the discipline as a

whole.

This article, also from Arizona State University, serves as a great cross-reference to my

first article (aibs) as it also provides a general overview of Biology as a discipline, and as a

career. It was written to inform those who are not familiar the field. This would serve as a good

secondary source for my article because it encompasses all the critical and general aspects for the

field of Biology. It features information on the overview of biology, the biologists and how they

interact with one another in order to achieve efficient and scholarly research results. This article

is relevant to my paper as it gives great examples of research in the field as well as a cross

reference for the critical aspects of Biology with other sources. It is a valid and reliable source as

the organization is subsidized by the National Science Foundation, the governing body for

research in the sciences in the United States as well as because it used multiple sources and real

life examples and verifiable statistics.

Dawkins, R. (2016). The extended selfish gene. Oxford, United Kingdom: Oxford University

Press.

The Selfish Gene, by the one and only Richard Dawkins, serves as a great source for my

paper. The book focuses on Natural Selection and Adaption within Evolutionary Biology, the

Genes Eye view of Life. This book is considered by many to be one of the most important

publications of the 1970s as it offers a deeper and more application based understanding into
Evolutionary Biology and Darwinian Evolution. This is a great addition to my sources as it

encompasses a very modern frontier in Biology, Evolution. It is a great example of the

cumulation of research into a Scientific Theory. This is a book from my own private collection.
