About This Book

A practical, classroom-oriented introduction to animal biology that combines field observation, laboratory dissection and live-specimen study, and recitation to connect observed facts with general principles. It opens with hands-on laboratory exercises addressing structure, function, and development; proceeds to systematic treatments of animal groups using representative dissections, anatomical plates, and brief life-history notes; and closes with ecological topics and many suggestions for field projects. Appendices describe laboratory outfitting, specimen collecting and preservation, and student equipment. Emphasis is placed on direct observation, the study of readily available insects and birds, and the creation of a shared school collection.
