"Students find the study of zoology both fascinating and challenging. Keeping in mind this nature of the subject, this book has been written to advance the fascination and alleviate the challenges. Providing an exhaustive pool of knowledge concerning the various phylums, classes, orders and families of animal kingdom, Animal Science should prove to be an interesting guide into the world of animals.

With an introductory chapter on the evolution of animals which provides a background to the field of zoology, illustrations, figures and other paraphernalia, the book would be of great interest to teachers and students alike." (jacket)
