Tive que ler pra faculdade, faço biomedicina. É bem útil pra cadeira (anatomia comparada), mas é meio massivo e chatinho. Vale a pena se precisar de apoio, mas ler todo ele no meio de uma faculdade é muita demanda.

A wonderful book for nature nerds! This is a textbook, but a very interesting one. Thsi book will help you see the animals in your world in a new light! Fantastic!

Super in-depth text that was informative. However, for the course I was taking, it was kind of unnecessary unless I was really confused by the course notes, or interested in finding out the details. All black and white, if I recall correctly.
