The majority of undergraduate texts in invertebrate zoology (of which there are many) fall into one of two categories. They either offer a systematic treatment of groups of animals phylum by phylum, or adopt a functional approach to the various anatomical and physiological systems of the better known species.

The Invertebrates is the first and only textbook to integrate both approaches and thus meet the modern teaching needs of the subject.
