Explore the science of animals from structure to life in a clear, classroom-ready guide.

This volume introduces Zoology and maps its place among the sciences, then moves from basic definitions to the big ideas that unite all animal life. It covers both the anatomy of animals and the ways they function, develop, and are classified, making it a solid foundation for students and teachers alike.

The text is organized into two main parts: Structural Zoology, which looks at organization, growth, and the body’s parts; and Systematic Zoology, which classifies animals and traces their relationships across time and space. It uses a synthetic approach that connects observation, experiments, and the student’s own study of specimens.

Learn how organisms are built, from cells to tissues to organs.
Discover how animals grow, move, and sense the world around them.
See how scientists group animals and study their evolution and distribution.
Explore the development of embryos and the ways life begins and changes.

Ideal for readers of introductory biology, high school or college courses, and anyone new to the study of animal science, this edition helps you connect the facts of the natural world to the bigger picture of life on Earth.
