Product Description
This high-quality laboratory manual may accompany any comparative anatomy text, but correlates directly to Kardong's Vertebrates: Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution text. This lab manual carefully guides students through dissections and is richly illustrated. First and foremost, the basic animal architecture is presented in a clear and concise manner. Throughout the dissections, the authors pause strategically to bring the students' attention to the significance of the material they have just covered. |

Not worth the price by C. J. Bledsoe (Missouri)  2 Stars
December 04, 2008
This lab manual is lacking in several areas. The illustrations commonly misrepresent the size or appearance of anatomical features, making it hard for the students to know what they are looking at. It also fails to provide illustrations that clearly label several of the features it asks students to find. Probably the most irritating part about the book, however, is the author's insistence on using the most obscure names for features instead of the names commonly used by other anatomists in the field. Descriptions of embryology are also limited, and functions are rarely discussed.
Overall, the book is decent enough if students need a basic overview of the anatomical structures of the dogfish, necturus, and cat. However, there are much better anatomy lab manuals available, and they are probably less expensive!

OK For Basics... by Bradley J. Fogleman (Conway, AR, USA)  3 Stars
May 07, 2008
The dissection guide is simply average. The drawings are relatively hit or miss, with a very low level of detail. Textual instructions make up for that big lack as they are pretty detailed. Guide also leaves out the frog, one of the most often dissected animals.

| Vertebrates Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution
by Kenneth Kardong (Author)
This one-semester text is designed for an upper-level majors course. Vertebrates features a unique emphasis on function and evolution of vertebrates, complete anatomical detail, and excellent pedagogy. Vertebrate groups are organized phylogenetically, and their systems discussed within such a context. Morphology is foremost, but the author has developed and integrated an understanding of function and evolution into the discussion of anatomy of the various systems.

| Functional Anatomy of the Vertebrates: An Evolutionary Perspective
by Karel Liem (Author), William Bemis (Author), Warren F. Walker (Author), Lance Grande (Author)
This book introduces students to the groups of vertebrates and explores the anatomical evolution of vertebrates within the context of the functional interrelationships of organs and the changing environments to which vertebrates have adapted. The text contains all of the material taught in classic comparative anatomy courses, but integrates this material with current research in functional anatomy. This integration adds a new dimension to our understanding of structure and helps students...
