5.0 out of 5 stars
The best you can get!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Integrated Principles of Zoology (Hardcover)
The Integrated Principles of Zoology is the most thorough of the three in the Hickman/Zoology series. For a collegiate zoology/animal biology course, you can't find anything better. The 5th edition was the college/university standard back in 1975 when I took Zoology, and in the 11th edition is still the standard now when I teach Zoology. The text has been significantly revised since the 10th edition, with a terrific art program.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent zoology textbook,
By Jeffrey Trust (Yosemite National Park, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Integrated Principles of Zoology (Hardcover)
My background is in geology, but recently I've found my interest in zoology growing. This textbook was exactly what I was looking for--and more. My formal education in biology is quite meager, but Parts I and II of this book provided me with all the background (with good depth) I needed in order to understand the remaining three parts.The writing was among the best I've ever read in a textbook: very clear and easy to read. The illustrations and photos are wonderful (and all but a few are in color). The authors and editors surely put in a great deal of effort to make this book easy to learn from and use... and they succeeded. I never thought I'd enjoy reading a textbook so much!

This book is a classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Integrated Principles of Zoology (Hardcover)
Hard to improve on the previous editions, however, I like the tremendous online support that accompanies this newest edition. As always the text is consistantly readable, and the authors do a good job of dealing with the broad scope of the subject.
