Excellent book. there are 38 chapters and I believe they extensively revamped and updated 37 of them. Get the most current edition, otherwise you will not have adapted as well as you could.

I bought this book for my Zoology 1 class, and found the book to be arranged in a logical manner with review material at the end of each chapter. Some of the material and explainations were dense and wordy, but overall I was highly please with the book.
