Taken together, the essays comprise an exceptional overview of the animal kingdom that is accessible to students, browsers, and science enthusiasts alike.

The book also contains a 32-page mini-encyclopedia that defines key terms highlighted in the main essays, a "timechart" that traces the development of studies of the animal kingdom from its earliest days to the present, a unique "knowledge map" that shows graphically how biology overlaps with other sciences such as ecology and genetics, and a special section that brings together a wealth of hard data in the form of attractive tables and graphs.
Never before has the study of animal life been so comprehensively presented to such a wide variety of readers. WithAnimal Life: Form and Function in the Animal Kingdom in hand, students and general readers alike will have an invaluable guide to the remarkable animal kingdom at their fingertips.
