This book is about the major groups of animals, their structure,
physiology and ways of life. Each chapter, except the first, deals
with a taxonomic group of animals, usually a phylum or class. Brief
descriptions of a few examples are followed by more detailed
discussion of selected topics. Some of the topics are peculiarities
of the groups (for example, the shells of molluscs and the flight
of insects). Others are more widespread features or properties of
animals which can be illustrated particularly well by reference to
the group. Many experiments are described, on the grounds that it
is as important and interesting to know how information is
obtained, as to know the information itself. The text demonstrates
the extraordinary diversity of animals, without becoming encumbered
with excessive morphological and taxonomic information.
