Additional Reading
Willy Ley, The Dawn of Zoology (1968), contains a fascinating account of certain historical aspects of zoology. General texts include Robert L. Dorit, Warren F. Walker, Jr., and Robert D. Barnes, Zoology (1991), an introductory-level survey; Paul A. Meglitsch and Frederick R. Schram, Invertebrate Zoology, 3rd ed. (1991); F. Harvey Pough, John B. Heiser, and William N. McFarland, Vertebrate Life, 4th ed. (1996); and Richard C. Brusca and Gary J. Brusca, Invertebrates (1990), a systematic treatment. Robert Lynn Carroll, Vertebrate Paleontology (1988), shows how the data from fossils are used to understand evolutionary change. Two advanced texts are Hans-Peter Schultze and Linda Trueb (eds.), Origins of Higher Groups of Tetrapods: Controversy and Consensus (1991); and Jan L. Mason (ed.), Evolution of Domesticated Animals (1994), a comprehensive sourcebook for vertebrate species from mammals to fish.
