See all formats and editions

The Evolution of Vertebrate Design is a solid introduction to vertebrate evolution, paleontology, vertebrate biology, and functional, comparative anatomy.

Its lucid style also makes it ideal for general readers intrigued by fossil history.

Clearly drawn diagrams illustrate biomechanical explanations of the evolution of fins, jaws, joints, and body shapes among vertebrates.

A glossary of terms is included. "A luminous text is matched by lucid drawings rationally placed...A great teaching monograph, the book will charm lay readers of fossil history.

For virtually every college & public collection."--Scitech Book News
