Format:Paperback
Bought this to go with my Vertebrates module at university (I'm studying zoology) and it has been useful as the lecturers used it as the main source for their slides. However I found it quite difficult to read, the pages are extremly thin and disgrams have no color (which i think does make a difference!). I haven't used it as much as I thought I would but saying that I will no doubt come to it again in the future. The major downfall for me was the price, if it cost say £15 less I would have been a lot happier, but I have bought more informative textbooks twice the size for less. One other book I would recommend if you also study Ecology is Ecology from Individuals to Ecosytems (Michael Begon, Colin R Townsend and John L Harper), I have found it extremly helpful for my Ecology module. :)
Format:Hardcover
A brilliant book for anyone studying a related course. The only negative thing i'd say is that some sections are a little bit tough-going for those not so familiar with all the terms, but don't by any means judge the book content on this: I'm not a real scientist yet!
Format:Hardcover
Received the book in a time frame as described, however the 'New' book i had paid for was used. Within a short time and following a couple of e-mails refund given in keeping with its used status. The book itself is excellent for my studies in marine biology. Clearly set out, brilliant content and clear illustrations.

A BOOK
This book is very booky.
It has pictures of Tigers. I like Tigers. Tigers work well in this book because they are vertebrates. It also has pictures of other vertebrates. Read more

1st class text
This textbook covers all aspects of vertebrate biology thoroughly. A must for Zoology students.
Published on 21 April 2006 by Mr. Will Walker
Excellent guide for zoologists.
Perhaps the previous reviewer didn't do zoology, as this book is an absolute must for that subject - one word 'awesome'.

Not a patch on J.Z. Young
Since J.Z. Young's 'The Life of Vertebrates' has gone out of print there has been a gap in the market for a replacement. This book does not fill it. Read more
