Product Description
This dictionary is a comprehensive reference work on all aspects of the study of animals. Fully revised for this edition, with over 5000 entries, it provides wide coverage of topics including animal behaviour, ecology, physiology, genetics, cytology, evolution, and Earth history. There is taxonomic coverage of arthropods, other invertebrates, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. The text has been revised to incorporate the discovery of "extremophiles" - organisms living in environments formerly considered impossibly hostile - and the toxonomic reclassification that this has entailed.

I like all these Oxford science dictionaries. Mine are v dog-eared from constant grabbing from my side when reading through heavy textbooks. They're great because the entries can be extensive without being too long-winded. Well cross-referenced too. Once you look up one thing you'll end up looking up far more!

This is a wonderful dictionary, and I will sometimes end up reading it like a book! I gave it 4 stars however basically because there do appear to be quite a few words which are completely absent where their presence would have been appreciated. However it is great, it will not be the last zoology dictionary you ever need to buy, but despite that it is worth the purchase.

I was impressed with how well the book was protected. It has been very useful and handy to have. I would suggest this book to everyone.

Good, but lacks some detail
To be honest, I'd rather give this a 3.5/4 score. This is a good book to have for any enthusiast or student studying zoology or animal-related subjects. Read more
