2nd edition HOLLEY

From the inception of this text, it has been the goal to write a zoology program that acts on the criticisms and recommendations of those authorities and is based on current educational research. This textbook has been designed and written to be:

1. readable and interesting 2. understandable 3. connected 4. personable

In this course, you will confront the facts and concepts of zoology in your textbook (Accumulation). However, you will also be challenged to think, act, and work like a zoologist (Investigation) at certain points in your textbook, and especially in the laboratory segment of this course. As you investigate, you will use the same information, develop the same scientific skills, and employ the same scientific processes as do professional zoologists.
