A survey of
this diverse field for a one- or two-term introductory zoology course.
Comprehensive, flexible and accessible, the text is derived from the
highly successful General Zoology 6/e. Evolution is emphasized at the very
beginning in discussions of molecular and cell biology. A
systems/classification organization and emphasis on "predictive value"
reinforce the evolutionary theme, and four-colour illustrations enhance
the value of detailed drawings.

Review
A very comprehensive book -
I have used this book in
conjunction with an Open University degree course. It
has provided extremely detailed but understandable supplementary readings
and explanations. I would recommend this book to any degree course
biologist, and is still a readable book for other interested people. Many
useful illustrations, tables, colour plates etc.
Reviewer
Interesting and good! -
this book is interesting, and gives what it needs to get an in depth introduction
to zoology. All animal classes are covered, with a lot of brilliant
illustrations.
