About this title

Synopsis

The Evolution of Vertebrate Design is a solid introduction to vertebrate evolution, paleontology, vertebrate biology, and functional, comparative anatomy. Its lucid style also makes it ideal for general readers intrigued by fossil history. Clearly drawn diagrams illustrate biomechanical explanations of the evolution of fins, jaws, joints, and body shapes among vertebrates. A glossary of terms is included.

"A luminous text is matched by lucid drawings rationally placed. . . . A great teaching monograph, the book will charm lay readers of fossil history. For virtually every college & public collection."—Scitech Book News

From Library Journal

After reviewing vertebrate anatomy and evolutionary theory, Radinsky traces chordate development from primitive Devonian jawless fish to the diversified and specialized mammals of today. He stresses adaptations of form and function in response to environmental influences as the force of change. Line drawings, primarily skeletal, clarify textual references. Derived from lecture notes for non-major biology students at the University of Chicago, this book would serve well as a text. For the informed lay reader and high school or college biology student.
