A
Dictionary of Zoology, by Michael Allaby. A
comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on all
aspects of the study of animals. Containing over 5,000
entries on everything from animal behavior, ecology, and
physiology to genetics, cytology, and evolution, the
dictionary offers full taxonomic coverage of arthropods,
fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. It is
illustrated with clear line drawings, and supported by
useful appendices on the genetic code, endangered
animals, and SI units. Completely revised to incorporate
the discovery of "extremophiles"--organisms
living in environments formerly considered impossibly
hostile--and the toxonomic reclassification that this has
entailed, Dictionary of Zoology is ideal for students and
will be invaluable to amateur naturalists and all those
with an interest in zoology. www.amazon.com
