4.0 out of 5 stars FINE DESCRIPTIVE DIAGRAMS, April 2, 2003

By 

reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Zoology Coloring Book (Paperback)

Designed for students taking biology-based courses in both High School and early University years, this colouring book is equipped with a lot of stuff, which will satisfy its audience.
The coverage of this atlas spanned across a wide variety of animals: from the minute simple ones to the largest and the most complex chordates. Its beautifully illustrated diagrams would appeal to students of biology, zoology, agriculture, veterinary medicine, and a long list of other ancillaries.
Each figure that featured in this book received adequate structural identification, inaddition to a well-described anatomical components. The elaborations given to their respective taxonomies are more than satisfactory.
In fact, there is hardly anything to complain about here: The price of this book is reasonable. Still, I wish that (in subsequent edition), the syllabus of this book should be enlarged, so as to accommodate more specimens.

I have found this book to be a valuable resource to not only myself, but my students as well. It works wonders for those of us visual learners that need that little bit extra. The diagrams take you through most of the common animals studied in Zoology classes. Systems of each animal are the highlight of each coloring plate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing resource, February 10, 2007

By 

Andi (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Zoology Coloring Book (Paperback)

This book sounds ridiculous, and I was mocked by my roommates for using it in college, but it taught me more than my Zoology professor and text book combined. A great resource for passing the tests as well as retaining the knowledge.
