註釋Another in a collection of good books on invertebrate zoology to appear in the past five years. Three themes are developed: functional body plan (Bauplan), developmental patterns and life history strategies, and evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships. The first four chapters relate to basic biological parameters as a way of introduction to invertebrates. Each major taxon or group of smaller taxa is covered in a separate chapter. The Bruscas write authoratively, use numerous illustrations (both line drawings and photographs), and include helpful reference lists and a comprehensive index. The book's usefulness would be enhanced further with the inclusion of a glossary. Individual workers may challenge specific taxonomic categories, the placement of a particular taxon phylogenetically, or the relative evolutionary importance of a given form. However, the Bruscas will give students another excellent perspective on the facinating world of invertebrates. Highly recommended for libraries serving programs on invertebrate biology at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Choice Reviews.
