Review # 1 was written on 2014-08-13 00:00:00 Thom Broesky Perrier offers an insightful history of the development of zoology from ancient Greek influences through the 1880s. He focuses on major breakthroughs and developments as zoology progresses from a philosophical consideration to a mature, experimental investigation. He summarizes the information, discussion, and philosophical positions emphasizing the impacts on further developments. This book is a welcome addition to the history and philosophy of the biological sciences and how evolutionary theory has reorganized zoology in particular. I recommend the book to all biology students,as well as those interested in the history and philosophy of science and western intellectual history.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-09-25 00:00:00 Ravi Goel I opened this book months ago and spent a net amount of approximately 3 minutes looking at its contents. It was thoroughly unentertaining. However, it helped me pass the course very well.
