This book offers a comprehensive exploration of General Zoology, offering a foundational understanding of animal biology through an integrative approach. It spans key subfields Cytology, Histology, Vertebrates, Physiology, Hematology, and Immunology, providing a holistic view of the structure, function, classification, and interactions of living organisms.
Starting with the cell as life’s basic unit, it covers cell structure, function, and its role in forming tissues and organs. Histology follows, detailing tissue types and classifications. The vertebrate biology section examines anatomical diversity and structural complexity across groups.
The book also emphasizes physiology, explaining biological regulation processes such as digestion, circulation, and metabolism. Hematology explores blood composition and its role in health and disease, while immunology outlines the body’s defense mechanisms.
Designed as a fundamental guide for students, educators, and researchers, this book unifies various branches of zoology into a coherent framework, making it a valuable resource in the biological and medical sciences.
Man-made climate change poses a new crisis: how do we feed 10 billion people in a climate hostile to food security? This book explores the threat to our “daily bread” and argues that we are not without hope, offering solutions that can lead to a better future for humankind.
