Author: Wischnitzer, Saul

Condition: New

For laboratory courses in comparative vertebrate anatomy. Dr. Wischnitzer's atlas/dissection guide has offered a peerless combination of illustrations, text, and design for over 25 years. This book offers an exceptional introduction to the anatomy of the amphioxus, tunicate, acorn worm, lamprey, dogfish shark, mud pupy, and cat. High quality two and three dimensional illustrations (some in color); meticulous labeling; precise text facing the corresponding diagram; and easy-to-follow instructions are all here. The flexible organization of the book is also retained: animal forms are covered in sequence, but with each body system examined in a single self-contained exercise, the book adapts easily to a comparative approach.
