Recenzii
'This is a valuable book that contains a good blend of topics.' Animal Behaviour
Any successful treatment of the phylogeny of the animal kingdom these days should have three things: 1) a solid knowledge of all the groups, 2) a cladistic approach, and 3) a love of the myriad diversity of the creatures themselves. Claus Nielsen's new book has all three of these ... I find that the author has done a remarkable job of making sense of invertebrates ... a find piece of work.
Claus NIELSEN writes that his book is "not meant as an alternative to the several recent textbooks of systematic zoology, but as a supplement ...". Compared to these, Claus NIELSEN provides more original illustrations, a more elaborate discussion of alternative hypotheses, more intriguing phylogenetic arguments, and definitely easier reading.
