Microscopic Anatomy Of Invertebrates 20 Volume Set

Named by the Association of American Publishers at its 16th Annual Awards Program for Excellence in Professional and Scholarly Publishing, "the Most Outstanding Book of 1992 in the Bio- and Medical Sciences." Recognized by scholars, researchers, and educators as the culmination of invertebrate anatomical science that will guide scientific investigation in the field throughout the next century, this definite reference to invertebrate biology comprises 20 extensively illustrated volumes, covering in detail all the major invertebrate phyla-their gross, histological, and ultrastructural anatomy.

Here is the newest self-contained, three-part volume in the award winning Microscopic Anatomy of Invertebrates (MAI) series. It covers the basic physiology of Chelicerate Arthropodia, a diverse class of invertebrates that includes mites, ticks, spiders, scorpions and related forms.

Presented in twenty extensively illustrated volumes, Microscopic Anatomy of Invertebrates provides specific and exhaustive coverage of all the major invertebrate phyla, offering full accounts of their gross, histological, and ultrastructural anatomy. The twenty individual volumes are arranged phylogenetically, beginning with the protozoa, defined herein as the motile protists, and concluding with the invertebrate members of the phylum Chordata.

This 15-volume Microscopic Anatomy of Invertebrate series is unrivaled in scope and thoroughness as the definitive work on invertebrate anatomy. Volume 11 provides specific and exhaustive coverage of the insecta, examining the basic physiology of such functions as sensation and motor control, respiration, digestion, and reproduction.

Presented in 15 extensively illustrated volumes, it provides specific and exhaustive coverage of all the major invertebrate phyla, offering full accounts of their gross, histological, and ultrastructural anatomy. The 15 individual volumes are arranged phylogenetically, beginning with the protozoa, defined herein as the motile protists, and concluding with the invertebrate members of the phylum Chordata. Although gross and external anatomy are discussed in some detail, the emphasis of this work is consistently on functional invertebrate anatomy, particularly at the ultrastructural level. It does not remain limited to fundamental descriptions of anatomical structure but rather goes beyond that level to offer a compelling view of microscopic anatomy that relates structure to function in various organisms.
