Summary: The ""Bible" of Invertebrate Zoology
Comment: A modern replacement of Libby Hyman's classic series, but, even so, is now beoming out of date because of the rapid advances in molecular biology. Dr. Barnes is deceased and I understand that Dr. Ruppert has no plans to update the book, a horrendous undertaking. Nevertheless, I know of no substitute for this fine text. Readers should also refer to Margulis & Schwartz "Five Kingdoms".
Rating: 5
Summary: Sets the standard for Invertebrate Zoology texts
Comment: Ruppert and Barnes' text, now in its 6th edition sets the standard for invertebrate zoology texts. The authors provide adequate depth for undergraduate courses in invertebrate zoology, and good fodder for graduate students starting in the discipline as well.
There are outstanding collections of line drawings in the text -- a method of illustration I prefer to photographs for most instructional purposes.
There is good coverage of invertebrate animal groups, but, since it's published in 1994, there are a few places where the book is becoming dated. There is, for example, no information about the Cycliophora, the latest invertebrate phyla to be proposed.
I hope that there will continue to be new editions of this text produced. I cut my teeth on the 3rd edition, and other editions have figured prominently as I have worked through my graduate and professional careers.
Top-notch material. If you are considering which text to select for an invertebrate zoology course, I urge you to give this book a look.
Rating: 5
Summary: "quite simply the best book on invertebrate zoology"
Comment: This book covers all the major taxa of invertebrate fauna and is surprisingly comprehensive for such a diverse topic.
