It was the first biology textbook ever reviewed by \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e and was also featured with illustrations in \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e. Harvard, Stanford, the University of Chicago, and more than eighty other colleges and universities adopted it for use in courses. Since then, its clear explanations and ample illustrations have continued to introduce hundreds of thousands of students and general readers around the world to jellyfishes, corals, flatworms, squids, starfishes, spiders, grasshoppers, and the other invertebrates that make up ninety-seven percent of the animal kingdom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This new edition has been completely rewritten and redesigned, but it retains the same clarity and careful scholarship that have earned this book its continuing readership for half a century. It is even more lavishly illustrated than earlier editions, incorporating many new drawings and photographs. Informative, concise legends that form an integral part of the text accompany the illustrations. The text has been updated to include findings from recent research. Eschewing pure morphology, the authors use each group of animals to introduce one or more biological principles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In recent decades, courses and texts on invertebrate zoology at many universities have been available only for advanced biology majors specializing in this area. The Third Edition of \u003ci\u003eAnimals Without Backbones\u003c\/i\u003e remains an ideal introduction to invertebrates for lower-level biology majors, nonmajors, students in paleontology and other related fields, junior college and advanced high school students, and the general reader who pursues the rewarding study of the natural world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRalph Buchsbaum \u003c\/b\u003ewas professor emeritus of biology at the University of Pittsburgh. \u003cb\u003eMildred Buchsbaum\u003c\/b\u003e has collaborated on previous editions of \u003ci\u003eAnimals Without Backbones\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eJohn Pearse\u003c\/b\u003e, a professor of biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and \u003cb\u003eVicki Pearse\u003c\/b\u003e, a research associate in biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, are coeditors with A.
