Life begins with a single cell, so this book does too. Walter Coleman's beginner's zoology climbs from the amoeba and the slipper animalcule through sponges, polyps, and spiny echinoderms, building the animal kingdom step by ordered step. A clear ladder into the science of animals. Start at the amoeba and climb toward the vertebrates.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
