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.

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!

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.

The item was received in just the condition it was promised (great condition) and during the time period expected. I would recommend this seller.

This book told me everything I needed to know about zoology. It had a glossary in the back for words I didn't recognize and it was very informative. It is made like a text book for high school or college students.

This book has outdated terminology and facts. If your school is using this book... too bad for you. It was the last semester my school was using this book when I took the course, and the professor had to correct a lot of this in lecture.

It took forever to receive it and would not respond to emails. I ended up having to buy a new book from the book store at my school which costed me $114!!!! YES!! This seler is NOT RELIABLE!!!!

I was very pleased with the book that I received and I got the book within just a very few days. I would definitely order from this site again.

This book is chock full of information, much much more than the professor could ever get through in one semester. The information is very dry and bland.

I was very happy at how quickly the shipper had sent my product. thank you for this. and also, thank you for the reasonable prices and for not false advertising. I am enjoying my book greatly. thanks again.
