EDITORIAL INFORMATION

An objective of this atlas is to provide you with a balanced visual representation of the five kingdoms of biological organisms. Great care has been taken to construct completely labeled, informative figures that are depicted clearly and acurately. Because this edition of A Photographic Atlas for the Biology Laboratory is presented in full color, the specimens depicted in this atlas appear as you see them in the biology laboratory. The terminology used in this atlas is that found in the more commonly used colege biology texts.

OUR REVIEW

The most attractive trait in this book is its being an "atlas", since that is the best way to define it. The power that the graphic information has to divulge morphological or structural characteristics, is obvious indeed here. The text, summarized as it is, offers essential data, thus allowing for an agile reference. Yet the enormous amount of images, distributed all over the pages, is the main information source. The purpose of this book is to transmit data having their ideal image, and in this case it is so in order to show the main structural characteristics of living beings. The outlines and photographs reveal in a clear, concise, straight way these basic traits.

The atlas is ideal both as a quick reference book in laboratories, and for the non-specialized reader wishing to have a summary of life on our planet in a graphic way.

This visual focus is a great achievement. Also, the graphic quality of the photographs is remarkable indeed, which contributes to making this book attractive for the non-specialized reader.
