"This ninth edition of Integrated Principles of Zoology, as in previous editions, we stress the basic principles and assumptions that provide a basis for understanding the animal kingdom and its progenitors, the animal like protista. This edition is a statement of the status of the zoological sciences at this particular time, as we the authors view it. Certainly the present treatment will in some measure reveal our interest, background, and current textbook, framed firmly within an evolutionary world of animals".
