    Estoy muy decepcionada por esperar tanto para tener la oportunidad de comprar el libro y ahora recibirlo con casi todas las esquinas y páginas arrugadas... me gustaría que lo cambiaran por uno en mejores condiciones y que pongan atención en la manera que lo empacan para enviar

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ótimo livro texto, porém exemplar veio com danos na capa

    Já conhecia o livro e acho o conteúdo excelente.
    Porém me decepcionei um pouco com o exemplar.
    Comprei o livro novo, mas ele veio com marcas de arranhões fundos na capa. E com parte da plastificação soltando na lombada.
    Esses danos me deixaram um tanto quanto desapontada...

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Vertebrate Zoology Textbook
    Reviewed in the United States on 17 July 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I was a biology major in the 70's and I periodically read a biology textbook to refresh my memory and keep up with what has changed. Some textbooks are dry, not Vertebrate Life. It does not get bogged down in comparative anatomy to the exclusion of more exciting topics such as behavior, evolution, historical geology and physiology. The Kardong textbook is thorough, but it is a very tough read. Vertebrate Life is very easy to read. I read it cover to cover, novel style. This the third edition I have owned over the years and the first in full color. Highly recommended for any amateur naturalist.
