Designed for students taking biology-based courses in both High School and early University years, this colouring book is equipped with a lot of stuff, which will satisfy its audience.The coverage of this atlas spanned across a wide variety of animals: from the minute simple ones to the largest and the most complex chordates. Its beautifully illustrated diagrams would appeal to students of biology, zoology, agriculture, veterinary medicine, and a long list of other ancillaries.Each figure that featured in this book received adequate structural identification, inaddition to a well-described anatomical components. The elaborations given to their respective taxonomies are more than satisfactory.In fact, there is hardly anything to complain about here: The price of this book is reasonable. Still, I wish that (in subsequent edition), the syllabus of this book should be enlarged, so as to accommodate more specimens.
This book sounds ridiculous, and I was mocked by my roommates for using it in college, but it taught me more than my Zoology professor and text book combined. A great resource for passing the tests as well as retaining the knowledge.
I have found this book to be a valuable resource to not only myself, but my students as well. It works wonders for those of us visual learners that need that little bit extra. The diagrams take you through most of the common animals studied in Zoology classes. Systems of each animal are the highlight of each coloring plate.
This is a unique approach to learning Zoology. The coloring aspect allows people to really connect what they are reading to the actual structures and ideas in taught in classes. Don't be fooled though, the idea isn't to just run through coloring everything to your heart's content. Follow the directions given and read the reading pages before/while you color and you'll learn a lot while having a little fun as well. The other coloring books available are especially recommended if you are a biologist and want to learn a little more about fields of biology that you are maybe not focusing on in college, Marine Biology or the human brain for example.
Years ago my daughter and I took a college zoology class together. We asked for permission to use this coloring book instead of participating in class dissection. Permission was given and my daughter and I made the highest grades in the class.
While these books may appear as simple children's activities, they are instead detailed and complete guides to college level work and textbooks, giving a new initiative to learning material. The color, details, and careful explanations included within these books complement work done in the classroom and in the field. Before paying out large sums for study guides, outside tutoring or online help, try this book. I even utilized the detailed pictures in dissection labs to more easily find my targets.
I picked up this book for fun, and found it to be very useful in my Comparative Vertebrate Morphology Class in college. Great to learn all about different animals! Great as a gift for kids 12 & up.
I used the pages for the frog as a prep for dissection with seventh graders with limited English proficiency. Coloring was done together as a class with specified colors: ie. the entire digestive system was colored with colored pencils one organ at a time, sequentially, in pink. When finished, the entire organ system was easy to define. Other organ systems were, of course, colored using different colors. Students could not dissect until the coloring was completed satisfactorily. The result was that students knew what they were looking for and approximately where it would be found before they started. Even the foggiest student was successful in the lab. It took a lot of time, but it was definitely worth it. Specimens for dissection are extremely expensive but I felt that using this method, the students really learned something rather than just playing around with the lab.
