Zoology

by John P. Harley

The 8th edition of Zoology continues to offer students an introductory general zoology text that is manageable in size and adaptable to a variety of course formats. It is a principles-oriented text written for the non-majors or the combined course, presented at the freshman and sophomore level. Zoology is organized into three parts. Part One covers the common life processes, including cell and tissue structure and function, the genetic basis of evolution, and the evolutionary and ecological principles that unify all life. Part Two is the survey of protists and animals, emphasizing evolutionary and ecological relationships, aspects of animal organization that unite major animal phyla, and animal adaptations. Part Three covers animal form and function using a comparative approach. This approach includes descriptions and full-color artwork that depict evolutionary changes in the structure and function of selected organ systems.

A great book for the buddign zoologist, and enough information there for a the first and second semester of study. For further detail on certain particular animals not mentioned specifically in this book, there are other books and you will find that some animals are not described in enough detail for certai lab reports etc. A good book thougha and definitly worth buying, one of the best books on this subject that i have seen.
