Book excerpt: Endowed with abundant water, extraordinary ecoystems, varied climates and biomes, our planet is teeming with creatures, great and small. What produced this rich diversity? How have so many species formed, evolved and adapted? What effects are humans having on the rest of the animal kingdom and on the natural environment we share? 30-Second Zoology explains the diversification process of evolution, then introduces the main groups of invertebrates and vertebrates. Breathing, seeing, communicating and other key features of animal physiology and behaviour are explored, as are the ecological relationships between Earth’s myriad species – the predators, the prey, the parasites and the positively poisonous – before assessing the anthropogenic effects of pollution, over-harvesting and a changing climate. Covering everything from the origins of life and the most basic of organisms, all the way through to the more complex creatures that we recognise today, 30-Second Zoology aims to showcase the most fantastic examples of life on our earth, all in 300 words and one stunning illustration per topic.

This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific experiments using animals have contributed significantly to the improvement of human health. Animal experiments were crucial to the conquest of polio, for example, and they will undoubtedly be one of the keystones in AIDS research. However, some persons believe that the cost to the animals is often high. Authored by a committee of experts from various fields, this book discusses the benefits that have resulted from animal research, the scope of animal research today, the concerns of advocates of animal welfare, and the prospects for finding alternatives to animal use. The authors conclude with specific recommendations for more consistent government action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Zoology the Study of Animal Life The word zoology is derived from the Greek word zoon, which meant "animal," and from the termination - logia, which signified a discourse. The name therefore, as might be expected, denotes the science of animals, and is therefore narrower in its scope than the science of biology, which deals with everything living and of which the science of zoology forms a subdivision. We see, therefore, that at the outset we are faced with two fundamental questions, viz. (1) What is life? and(2) What is an animal? To no two questions is it more difficult to give a precise answer than to these. If with Herbert Spencer we define life "as the continuous adjustment of internal to external relations," who is the wiser, or who has any better conception of life as a result of the definition? The better way of approaching the problem is the historical one, and instead of asking "What is life?" or "What is an animal?" let us rather ask how the ideas embodied in the terms "life" and "animal" took their origin. The word "animal" is derived from the same root as the Latin word "anima." This originally denoted simply "wind" or "breeze." It was then used to denote "breath," i.e. the air sucked into and ejected from the lungs in respiration. Breath was recognised by the ancients as the universal concomitant of life and activity in man and animals, and indeed it was regarded by them as the essential principle or cause of animal life.
