Review: Great Book - I recently purchased the latest edition and have been studying it pretty closely. Its one of the best biology texts I have, good for building a foundation in understanding the structure and function of invertebrate taxa. It is not very heavy on the ecology, but even though I am an ecology grad student I don't really mind. It is more helpful for me to feel like I grasp the basics of what an organism is, before moving on to an explicit focus of how an organism functions in an ecosystem. I own the seventh edition, and from what I read in the introduction, it is a significant revision from the sixth. The classification system has been updated and 5 additional chapters that I am very fond of have been added. These chapters focus on the conceptual significance of thematic changes in organism design - there is a chapter on the eukaryotic cell, on multicellularity, or the eumetazoa and the development muscles and nerves, on bilatera, and one other that I haven't gotten too. The chapter on protozoa (though limited in scope) did quite a lot to impress me that the strange animals like sponges and coral at the base of animal phylogeny are not at all strange when viewed in the context of their protist predecessors. One thing that bothered me at first about the book was that its all in black and white. Many invertebrates are really spectacular to look at, so my heart was a little heavy when I first flipped through the pages. I suppose this saves them money and makes the book more affordable, but the excellent line diagrams are probably more helpful in learning tissue and organ anatomy, so I've forgiven them. The diagrams are worth half the value of the book - you really need to see the structures you are reading about to understand them. In short, its a great book, and I recommend it for the more hardnosed, curious type of student and enthusiast.
Review: This is my bible - This book tells me the most recent infomation in invertebrate zoology which I've been studying and teaching for years. SAometimes I update my knowledge by online searches but this covers all the basics in a solid way - which I can then teach to my students

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Invertebrate Book!
*by K***. on April 5, 2017*

Sometimes a bit outdated for what we were learning in our class (the 7th edition is from 2003), but the diagrams were always super helpful to understand the basic models of the organisms. Good explanations and discussions of the anatomy and I enjoyed how the book set up the sections. My biggest issue was the black and white pictures, which were difficult to understand in some cases, but using this as a supplemental guide to the information we were learning along with the internet for photos of the invertebrates bridged the gap the black and white photos create in the book.
