Van De Graaff

This full-color photographic atlas provides clear photographs and drawings of tissues and organisms similar to specimens seen in a zoology laboratory. It is designed to accompany any zoology text or laboratory manual. It provides a balanced visual representation of the major groups of zoological organisms. Care has been taken to construct completely labeled, informative figures and parts of organisms are depicted clearly and accurately. The terminology used matches that found in college zoology texts. Many animal dissections are provided for students who have the opportunity to do similar dissections in the class laboratory. In addition, many photomicrographs and photos of living specimens are included. These figures enhance the student's understanding of animal anatomy and classification. All new illustrations, re- scanned and or re-imaged photos, new photomicrographs that match more closely what students are likely to observe in the laboratory, and a completely new layout are just some of the changes reflected in this new edition.
