book was in good shape, fast shipping

ILLUSTRATIVE AND DESCRIPTIVE BREAKDOWN OF SPECIMENS.......2003-03-22

This "General Zoology Laboratory Manual" is a well-structured atlas, whose versatility would be appreciated by both students and teachers. The quality photos and electron micrographs used in this book are attractive.
Its primary target are Zoology undergrads; however, most High School biology tutors would find it irresistible. Its charts and pictures are accompanied by descriptive illustrations, which include accurate breakdown of the specimens' anatomy, morphology, and taxonomy.
This book assembled all those animals with characteristic features of zoological importance. Its scope ran from the lower invertebrates to the more advanced vertebrates. It is a fine practical guide.

General Zoology Laboratory Guide.......2000-03-28

This is an extremely informative full reference guide to high school through introductory college level biology. It's use of electron micrographs as well as color photos and diagrams makes it clear to understand,and easy to learn from. The book covers all of the most dissected specimens, and some oddballs. A must have for any teacher of biological science!

Book Description

This high-quality laboratory manual may accompany any comparative anatomy text, but especially Kardong's Vertebrates: Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution or Kent/Carr's Comparative Anatomy. This text carefully guides students through dissections and is richly illustrated.

A great improvement.......2001-08-24

Having written a rather scathing review of the previous edition of this guide, I thought it only appropriate that I write a review for this fantastic rewrite. My biggest problem with the previous edition was the quality of the images. However, the majority of the poor images of the previous edition have been replaced by wonderful drawings for this latest edition. There are still a few problematic pictures (such as the alligator skull with many of the sutures not drawn), but as a whole I give the new pictures 5 stars because of the extreme detail and the ease of use. The addition of repeating the most important images at the back of the book add to this books use. And, the fact that the pages are perforated, means that a student could easily put the pictures in any order that they please. Although I had been planning on changing lab texts, I now see no point as Kardong and Zalisko, 3rd ed. is the best out there.

Excellent art, very clear directions.......2001-08-16

This 3rd edition is filled with updated art that in many respects exceeds any of its competition. Further, nearly every piece of art is printed again in the back of the laboratory manual to allow the figures to be sorted and reviewed separate from the laboratory text. This feature is especially attractive to my students.

The skeletal material is well illustrated and includes detailed descriptions of turtles and alligators not addressed in other laboratory manuals. The text is succinct and clearly organized. Especially unique and useful are the numerous short boxed essays describing particular aspects of structure-function relationships and the evolution of the specific anatomy under examination.

Book Description

This book pulls together the full range of cell culture, biochemical, microscopic, and genetic techniques to study the early mammalian embryo. Until now, there has never been such a comprehensive compendium, though there have been more focused books of protocol, such as Manipulating the Mouse Embryo, from Cold Spring Harbor. This book is intended to appeal to all constituencies, from basic experimental science to clinical and animal science applications.

How To Dissect.......2003-05-24

I used this book in my homeschool dissection club and found that it is a good reference tool, but lacks a thorough description of the internal anatomy. The diagrams of the internal anatomy are also very vague. This book is best used with online dissecton diagrams and instuctions. In a nutshell, this book came in handy every time I dissected, but only after I had a complete understanding of the internal anatomy of the specimen from other sources.

An amazing book that shows the internal anatomy in detail.......1999-05-28

I have been looking for a book about dissection for many years. Now I have found one. This book is graet. Besides have detailed discription on dissections it also has many experiment to go with the dissection. This book is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book should be made a compulsory school text!.......1998-09-02

I am a privileged owner of the 1961 edition of this book, having bought it in a jumble sale in 1984 for a mere Singapore 70 cents (less for U.S.). Open-ended & with great science projects, this book defies obsolescence and is a must for any parent/nation committed in honing young minds into the field of experimental biology and science.

With this book, William Berman leaves a legacy which plays surrogate to any young inquiring mind wishing for the most inspiring biology teacher.

Customer Reviews:

Falls short of excellence.......2000-08-14

I have found that there are a large number of errors in this text, particularly concerning the bowfin skull. The drawings are often sub-par and difficult to follow (particularly muscles, brains). The muscle drawings are particularly poor and it is virtually impossible to determine exactly what the lines are pointing to. Considering that the accompanying text book has some of the best drawings I have seen in a comparative anatomy text, I find the poor quality drawings particularly onerous. My students also do not like the excessive price of the book. It seems as if there is too much information for a laboratory manual with many unnecessary duplications of figures in the text book. Also, there are too many figures with added color where color in not necessary. The excessive figures and added color increase the price of this book and should be changed in future editions. This text has great potential because it is very well written, but I hope a second edition will include better, more accurate drawings and exclude unnecessary figures and information. I will probably be switching to Saul Wichnitzer's "Atlas and Dissection Guide for Comparative Anatomy" in the future because it has far better figures, and in comparative anatomy lab, the figures are by far the most important thing.

Here in Brazil, we have a very good impression about this book. Therefore, it's very dificult to buy it.

Book Description

In this book, the editors bring together results from studies on all kinds of animals to show how thinking on many behaviors as truly cognitive processes can help us to understand the biology involved. Taking ideas and observations from the while range of research into animal behavior leads to unexpected and stimulating ideas.
A space is created where the work of field ecologists, evolutionary ecologists and experimental psychologists can interact and contribute to a greater understanding of complex animal behavior, and to the development of a new and coherent field of study.

Book Description

Photo-Excited Processes, Diagnostics and Applications covers the area of photo-excitation and processing of materials by photons from the basic principles and theories to applications, from IR to x-rays, from gas phase to liquid and solid phases. The various chapters give a wide spectral view of this developing field.

Twelve leading groups worldwide set down to write this book during the past two years which include the most updated techniques used in their laboratories for investigating photo-excited processes and new applications. This book will be useful to scientists and engineers who have a strong interest in photo-assisted processes development for microelectronics and photonics.

Book Description

This volume presents the results and conclusions of the Application Project of EUROTRAC about the state of the troposphere over Europe, drawing from the plethora of scientific results. The various findings and recommendations on local, regional and global scales illustrate the complexities of the situation and indicate the subsequent difficulties which face environmental policy makers seeking to find ways to abate pollution on a regional scale. The book is recommended first for the scientific and policy-related information which it contains. In addition, the book is an excellent illustration of how the scientific programme can be evaluated in order to draw conclusions which are useful in policy development.
