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.


New to this edition of Van De Graaff's Photographic Atlas for the Zoology Laboratory:

Taxonomic classifications, especially of the single-celled eukaryotes, have been updated to reflect advances in modern understanding of molecular phylogenies.
Cladograms have been included to visually assist students in seeing the evolutionary changes of the different phyla.
The atlas has many new and updated illustrations, photographs, and photomicrographs.

Features of Van De Graaff's Photographic Atlas for the Zoology Laboratory:

More than 650 full-color, clearly labeled, high-quality photographs and photomicrographs depict specimens students are likely to observe in the laboratory.
Clear, accurate, completely labeled figures including life-cycle illustrations.
Numerous dissections of invertebrate and vertebrate organisms are presented for students who have the opportunity to conduct similar dissections.
Selected radiographs, CT scans, and MR images depict structures from living persons and thus provide an applied dimension to the human biology portion of the atlas.
