Projects
Campbell Biology book translation project
Yurt Center together with Azerbaijan Cultural Society has been sponsoring the translation of Campbell Biology book in Azerbaijani for the past 2 years. The dedication and hard work of the translators have reached a milestone, the first section of the book is now completed and available for everyone to download. We continue to work together to finish the translation of the entire book. Please share this wonderful work with your network of students and educators. The aim of the project is to translate this Biology textbook which is taught internationally and make it accessible and available to everyone to download.
