内容説明
"Invertebrates" 2nd edition presents a modern survey of the 34 animal phyla (plus the Protista) and serves as both a college course text and a reference on invertebrate biology. It is organized around the themes of bauplans (body plans) and evolution (phylogenetics). Detailed classifications, phylogenetic trees, and references for all phyla are provided. The text is accompanied by detailed line drawings and - new to this edition - four-colour photographs. Other key changes from the 1st edition (1990) include: the incorporation of all the new developments in phylogenetics, developmental biology and molecular genetics; major changes at the highest levels among the invertebrates; three phyla that appeared in the original book Pentastomida, Pogonophora and Vestimentifera no longer exist, and an entire new phylum, Cycliophora, has been erected. Moreover, this edition discusses recent work in molecular systematics, and there is a large new section on "Kingdom Protista" (replacing "Protozoa") containing new contemporary views of these organisms (arranged in 17 phyla).

形式:ハードカバー
本書は1990年に出版され高い評価を得た第１版に続き，この13年間の進歩を盛り込んだ待望の第２版である．無脊椎動物の多様性と進化系統分野の教科書は日本では少ないが，欧米では定評のあるものがいくつもある．本書はその中でも１冊ものとして最新最大のもので，無脊椎動物の大きな世界の全体にわたって，多くの研究成果をバランスよく記述し，公正な立場で動物群間の系統関係を論じている．第１版とくらべて本書の基本的な構成は変わらず，章の数も同じだが，ページ数はわずかに増えている．第１版からの特徴である多数の美しい線画に加えて，第２版では多数のカラー写真が加わり，より親しみやすくなった．無脊椎動物系統分類学の専門家，大学院生，学生諸氏および広く無脊椎動物に興味をもつ人々の座塊??の書としてふさわしいものであると思う．

Well, It has a nice picture on the cover.
2003/3/23
形式:ハードカバー
This invertebrate text is a mixed bag. Although the date on the Author's Preface is 2002, very few references more recent than 1997 are cited. The treatment is also very uneven. As expected given the authors' interests, the Arthropod treatment is done pretty well, but pretty much all the other major phyla are poorly treated. For example, reading the mollusk section is like entering a time warp; the gastropod systematic treatment is straight out of 1970s and the minor classes are perhaps worse. Within the molluscan overall framework, seminal works such as the Ponder and Lindberg treatment of gastropods are ignored, and the minor molluscan groups far no better; nothing more recent than references in the 1970s have obviously been consulted for the Scaphopods and although more recent references are listed for the Aplacophora and other minor classes the treatment is equally weak.
Similar problems are apparent within other major taxa as well.
Although the authors have tried to include some modern phylogentic analyses, the more recent data (from say, 1998 through at least 2000) that should have been included are totally absent.
Compared to the first edition, the text has many new illustrations; in fact, that seems to be the major positive addition over the earlier addition.
The book seems to have relatively few typographical errors.

Invertebrates - the definitive reference but without molecul
2000/11/26
形式:ハードカバー
This large, comprehensive book is actually very suitable for the general reader. Concepts are explained well. Excellent line drawings accompany the text. The book starts off with general concepts, then covers the protozoa and then the placazoa (Trichoplax). It is suggested, as others have also speculated, that Trichoplax perhaps represents a surviving descendant of a premetazoan ancestor. The book then goes on to cover the sponges, cnidaria, ctenophora, platyhelminthes, pseudocolelomates, numerous chapters on worms, arthropoda, mollusca, etc, and finishes off with the invertebrate deuterostomes (including echinodermata, hemichordata and chordata). This book lacks recent molecular results, but nonetheless remains an excellent reference on the invertebrates.

Amazing Book!
1999/8/8
形式:ハードカバー
This is a really amazing book. Goes way beyond the usual listing of features often found in comparative zoology type books, and pulls out underlying themes. Moreover, it is written in a way that makes for relaxing reading. Even the obligatory section on "why we should care about taxonomy" was an interesting read, not the chore that it tends to be in books like this. Excellent illustrations, good enough to make it a coffee-table book, but also has clear explanations and a wealth of information. This book will be a classic.
