Endowed with abundant water, extraordinary ecoystems, varied climates and biomes, our planet is teeming with creatures, great and small. What produced this rich diversity? How have so many species formed, evolved and adapted? What effects are humans having on the rest of the animal kingdom and on the natural environment we share? 30-Second Zoology explains the diversification process of evolution, then introduces the main groups of invertebrates and vertebrates. Breathing, seeing, communicating and other key features of animal physiology and behaviour are explored, as are the ecological relationships between Earth’s myriad species – the predators, the prey, the parasites and the positively poisonous – before assessing the anthropogenic effects of pollution, over-harvesting and a changing climate. Covering everything from the origins of life and the most basic of organisms, all the way through to the more complex creatures that we recognise today, 30-Second Zoology aims to showcase the most fantastic examples of life on our earth, all in 300 words and one stunning illustration per topic.

by Professor L. E. Eastham Formerly Professor of Zoology in the University of Sheffield Most books are written with the intention of supplying some particular need, but few end with such single purpose. Mrs. Mellanby's is no exception, for while the author planned this work to serve as a guide to the school pupil, which function it fulfils in an admirable way, it will also prove of value to the teacher, the university student and the amateur naturalist. While it may be argued that it is not the function of the Uni versities to teach Natural History in the commonly accepted sense, it will always be the aim of Zoologists to know more about animals, what they are and do, where they live and why they live in particular environments. It is unfortunate, in view of the fact that the majority of students of Zoology enter the teaching pro fession, that the increasing load of instruction in morphology, physiology, cytology, genetics, evolution and the like frequently makes a personal study of animal life in relation to environment almost impossible. The fortunate ones visit the sea for a fort night's course in Marine Ecology; the others take posts in schools without even this respite and set about converting their academic learning to a school curriculum. The result is an undesirable and often slavish imitation of university method in the school class room.

This 1985 book examines the origin of the present diversity of marine invertebrate animals. A brief review of the early stages in the history of life discusses the time-scale of the relevant geological periods alongside corresponding events in the evolutionary sequence. These views of the early history of life are then matched against the fossil record and conjectures drawn from the living fauna, enabling the author to attempt an overview of the early diversification of marine animal life. Transitions to the succeeding assemblages of shellbearing fossils in Palaeozoic rocks are discussed and a number of stratigraphic adjustments are suggested for the period in which evolutionary events had their greatest impact on oceans and marine rock strata. The need for an interdisciplinary approach to early evolution is emphasized.

Scientific experiments using animals have contributed significantly to the improvement of human health. Animal experiments were crucial to the conquest of polio, for example, and they will undoubtedly be one of the keystones in AIDS research. However, some persons believe that the cost to the animals is often high. Authored by a committee of experts from various fields, this book discusses the benefits that have resulted from animal research, the scope of animal research today, the concerns of advocates of animal welfare, and the prospects for finding alternatives to animal use. The authors conclude with specific recommendations for more consistent government action.

Excerpt from Zoology the Study of Animal Life The word zoology is derived from the Greek word zoon, which meant "animal," and from the termination - logia, which signified a discourse. The name therefore, as might be expected, denotes the science of animals, and is therefore narrower in its scope than the science of biology, which deals with everything living and of which the science of zoology forms a subdivision. We see, therefore, that at the outset we are faced with two fundamental questions, viz. (1) What is life? and(2) What is an animal? To no two questions is it more difficult to give a precise answer than to these. If with Herbert Spencer we define life "as the continuous adjustment of internal to external relations," who is the wiser, or who has any better conception of life as a result of the definition? The better way of approaching the problem is the historical one, and instead of asking "What is life?" or "What is an animal?" let us rather ask how the ideas embodied in the terms "life" and "animal" took their origin. The word "animal" is derived from the same root as the Latin word "anima." This originally denoted simply "wind" or "breeze." It was then used to denote "breath," i.e. the air sucked into and ejected from the lungs in respiration. Breath was recognised by the ancients as the universal concomitant of life and activity in man and animals, and indeed it was regarded by them as the essential principle or cause of animal life.

Excerpt from The Study of Animal Life To each of these classes of students a quarter of this volume is dedicated; perhaps they will correct their partiality by reading the whole. As to the two Appendixes, I may explain that instead of giving references at the end of each chapter, I have combined these in a connected bibliography; the other Appendix on Animal Life and Ours may show how my subject is related to some of the others usually discussed in University Extension Courses. My friend Mr. Norman Wyld has written the three chapters on "The Powers of Life," pp. 125-166, and I am also indebted to him for helpful suggestions in regard to other parts of the book. I have to thank Mr. Murray, Messrs. Chambers, and Mr. Walter Scott, for many of the illustrations: while several original drawings have been made for me by my friend Mr. William Smith. Professor Knight and Mr. John Murray have given me many useful hints while the book was passing through the press, and Mr. Ricardo Stephens was good enough to read the proof sheets.
