Though written for students of invertebrates in colleges and universities, this lucidly written and profusely illustrated book is finding a wide audience among educated people of any field who seek more familiarity with the diversity of animal life.

"Living Invertebrates is a higher level monograph on the material covered in the immortal Animals Without Backbones (which has, since it appeared in 1938, brought more students to a love of biology than any other book--published in its third edition in Spring, 1987). The present title is an instant classic. It is gin clear, exquisitely illustrated, and brilliantly balances new & old knowledge, natural history, theory, and text and illustration. Has 1600 illustrations, 36 pages in color and some 1,000 photos with another 600 splendid drawings. Living Invertebrates will be a mighty engine drawing a new generation of students to a passion for biology. For every library this must be among the top ten science selections this year." From Sci Tech Book News, May 1987.
