In four well-organised sections, the book reviews the Animal Kingdom, phylum by phylum; covers key co-ordinating principles; describes aspects of comparative physiology; and reviews reproductive physiology and developmental biology from birth through ageing. The new edition has been reviewed and updated and remains a concise, comprehensive overview of the field designed to provide accessible information in a format which is ideal for both ease of learning and rapid revision.
