Microscopic Anatomy of Invertebrates

The collection already regarded as a classic in bioscience is now available in one complete, indispensable set.

The Microscopic Anatomy of Invertebrates treatise, universally praised by scholars, educators, and researchers as the culmination of invertebrate anatomical literature, is complete and available! From Protozoa to Hemichordata, Chaetognatha, and the Invertebrate Chordates, you can now have all fifteen volumes, comprising of 20 books, at your fingertips, with the knowledge that the information contained within each volume will stand the test of time long into the next century.

Documents the core principles of invertebrate microscopic anatomy in unrivaled depth and breadth—an indispensable staple for every scientist and researcher

Invertebrates are the most extensive and diverse category of animal life. They offer an immense source for insights into the fundamental biology of every creature on earth. Researchers in such diverse areas as genetics, evolution, development, and zoology routinely use invertebrate organisms as model systems for more complex biological functions.

Arranged phylogenetically, Microscopic Anatomy of Invertebrates provides an exhaustive, thoroughly comprehensive reference for data that all bioscientists need to know at various stages of their research. It is a must-have in the library of every zoologist, anatomist, protozoologist, microbiologist, molecular and cellular biologist, developmental biologist, parasitologist, and invertebrate pathologist.

An incomparable publishing achievement in anatomical science

Unparalleled coverage includes:

• Contributions from 186 international leading scientists represent a cross-section of all work being done in the field and draw together current knowledge from around the world
• Extensive high-quality illustrations, most of which are published here for the first time ever, complement topics discussed, including functional invertebrate anatomy as well as gross and external anatomy
• Individual volumes cover one invertebrate phylum at a time to save scientists hours of valuable research time
• Comprehensive coverage of functional anatomy provides a wealth of information in one accessible reference set
• Unprecedented coverage of material not found in any other reference guarantees the most timely material available on the subject to date
• Thorough coverage of the basic biology of functions, such as sensation and motor control, respiration, digestion, and reproduction, provides invaluable information to scientists

Microscopic Anatomy of Invertebrates provides a well-rounded treatment of the following systems for different invertebrate phyla:

PRAISE FOR EARLIER VOLUMES:

“Richly illustrated reviews written by acknowledged experts on the functional anatomy of the invertebrate phyla indicated…A most important reference work.”
— ASLIB Book List

“…an important and valuable work of scholarship. The editor is to be congratulated…he has succeeded in getting world leaders in each field as his authors2 and they, in turn, have pulled together an immense and valuable amount of information”
— Nature

“[Volume 1: Protozoa] should be a useful reference book for a wide range of researchers in eukaryotic microbiology and is a welcome summary of where we stand in fine structural research of Protista”
— Journal of Protozoology

“The chapters are authoritative and well written, with an extensive, thorough treatment of the literature that will provide an important resource to academic and research libraries”
— Quarterly Review of Biology

“[Volume 6: Mollusca II] provides a thoroughly comprehensive report of our current understanding of the groups treated therein. A must reference for all malacologists and invertebrate zoologists!”
— Bulletin of Marine Science

“A century ago important books on the anatomy of Crustacea were published. None compares with this new volume [9]. I am impressed by the work of the authors2, editors, and printers…”
— Advanced Composites

“The illustrations explain the details of the text in a clear and concise way. As usual, the quality of this book corresponds to the high standard of the other volumes in the treatise. The editors and their co-workers, as well as the publisher, deserve the most sincere congratulations”
