In college, there are two kinds of textbooks: the ones that are worth buying and the ones that aren't. Pechenik's book on Invertebrates belongs to the former. I had the misfortune of being enrolled this semester in a Taxonomy class where the professor is a huge advocate of independent learning. This book offers detailed but not overwhelming information about the different phyla and puts emphasis on functional morphology which has helped me through out our practical examinations. Compared to the lecture manual/book prescribed by our professor, this is a better reading material.
