Book Description
Zoology is a branch of biology that studies the animal kingdom. This encompasses the study of structure, classification, embryology, habit and distribution of animals, whether extinct or living, and their interactions with their environment. Structural studies in zoology are approached from the domains of cell biology and anatomy. This enables the study of unicellular and multicellular organisms from the perspective of the structure and function of cells, organs and organ systems. Physiology studies how the different structures of a living organism function as a whole. The origin and descent of species, and their change over time is tackled in evolutionary biology. The grouping and categorization of organisms based on their genus or species allows ease of study and research and is known as scientific classification. It is considered an important aspect of zoology. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of zoology. It unravels the recent studies in this field. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.

Book Description
Endowed with abundant water, extraordinary ecoystems, varied climates and biomes, our planet is teeming with creatures, great and small. What produced this rich diversity? How have so many species formed, evolved and adapted? What effects are humans having on the rest of the animal kingdom and on the natural environment we share? 30-Second Zoology explains the diversification process of evolution, then introduces the main groups of invertebrates and vertebrates. Breathing, seeing, communicating and other key features of animal physiology and behaviour are explored, as are the ecological relationships between Earth’s myriad species – the predators, the prey, the parasites and the positively poisonous – before assessing the anthropogenic effects of pollution, over-harvesting and a changing climate. Covering everything from the origins of life and the most basic of organisms, all the way through to the more complex creatures that we recognise today, 30-Second Zoology aims to showcase the most fantastic examples of life on our earth, all in 300 words and one stunning illustration per topic.

Book Description
General Zoology: Investigating the Animal World is an introductory level college biology textbook that provides students with an accessible and engaging look at the fundamentals of zoology. Written for a one-term, undergraduate course of mixed majors and non-majors, this reader-friendly text is concept driven vs. terminology driven. That is, the text is based on the underlying concepts and principles of zoology rather than strict memorization of terminology. Written in a student-centered, conversational style, this educational research-based textbook uniquely connects students and our society to animals from various perspectives—economic, ecologic, medical, and cultural, exploring how the animal world and human realm are intimately intertwined. End-of-chapter questions challenge students to think critically and creatively while incorporating science process skills and zoological principles.
