The Invertebrates: A New Synthesis - Tapa blanda

'The authors have succeeded in providing within a single volume a new, critical look at the essentials of invertebrate biology, in a form meeting the needs of students on modern courses in zoology ... clearly written and excellently illustrated with line drawings and diagrams.' Journal of Biological Education on the first edition

The majority of undergraduate texts in invertebrate zoology fall into one of two categories. They either offer a systematic treatment of groups of animals phylum by phylum, or adopt a functional approach to the various invertebrate anatomical and physiological systems of the better known species. The Invertebrates: a New Synthesis is the first and only textbook to integrate both approaches and thus meet the modern teaching needs of the subject.
