Book, Integrated Principles of Zoology 16/16[LS]

Integrated Principles of Zoology continues to be the reference for basic introductory zoology courses. In this 16th edition, the authors present a rich and real experience as they describe the diversity of animal life and the fascinating adaptations that make it possible for animals to inhabit so many ecological niches. The organization of the text proved to facilitate students' understanding of the content. Striking features, especially the emphasis on the principles of evolution and zoological science, were reinforced. To aid learning, several didactic features were maintained: opening dialogues of chapters extracted from the topic covered; chapter summaries; review questions; objective and well-designed illustrations; notes and considerations that add interesting aspects to the narrative; quotes from literature; and extensive glossary that provides the definition and origin of the terms presented in the text.
