About This Book

An elementary, examination-oriented textbook presents vertebrate biology through clear anatomical descriptions, dissection guidance, and practical exercises. It uses the rabbit, frog, dogfish, and amphioxus to illustrate external form, alimentary, circulatory, nervous, muscular, skeletal, renal and reproductive systems, and includes comparative and classificatory discussion. Separate chapters treat embryonic development of frog, fowl, and rabbit and introduce evolutionary theory and embryology questions. The volume emphasizes precise observational methods, annotated drawings, dissection sheets and a syllabus of practical work to prepare isolated or correspondence students for laboratory study and assessment.

About the Author

Wells, H. G. portrait

H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was an English writer and social commentator, renowned for his contributions to science fiction and social criticism. Often referred to as the 'father of science fiction,' Wells explored themes of technology, society, and human nature in his works. His notable titles include "The War of the Worlds," which depicts an alien invasion, and "The Time Machine," a pioneering narrative that delves into time travel. In addition to fiction, Wells wrote extensively on contemporary issues, as seen in works like "An Englishman Looks at the World." His literary legacy continues to influence writers and thinkers, making him a significant figure in both literature and social thought.
