Book Description
Dr. Sparky Pappalardo, or "Pap," is a research scientist who only wants to use molecular biology to cure cancer. Instead, her work on therapeutic viruses is sabotaged, probably by another scientist. As she investigates, she uncovers corruption, extortion and malfeasance. Her Medical University seems staffed with incompetent, apathetic and addictive creatures. Strangely, her supervisor reminds her of a tunicate salp. Follow the hilarious Pap, her beautiful pet ctenophores and her "Fabio-with-brains" boyfriend as they fight a mysterious poisoning, destruction of her laboratory and violent assaults. Learn some painless biology while Pap and her quirky friends unravel these mysteries. This is the second in the fictional "Phylum" series.

Book Description
The first comprehensive reference to invertebrate histology Invertebrate Histology is a groundbreaking text that offers a comprehensive review of histology in invertebrates. Designed for use by anyone studying, diagnosing, or researching invertebrates, the book covers all major taxonomic groups with details of the histologic features, with color photographs and drawings that clearly demonstrate gross anatomy and histology. The authors, who are each experts in the histology of their respective taxa, bring together the most recent information on the topic into a single, complete volume. An accessible resource, each chapter focuses on a single taxonomic group with salient gross and histologic features that are clearly described in the text and augmented with color photographs and greyscale line drawings. The histologic images are from mostly hematoxylin and eosin stained microscopic slides showing various organ systems at high and low magnification. In addition, each chapter provides helpful tips for invertebrate dissection and information on how to process invertebrates for histology. This important book: Presents detailed information on histology of all major groups of invertebrates Offers a user-friendly text that is organized by taxonomic group for easy reference Features high-quality color photographs and drawings, with slides showing histology and gross photographs to demonstrate anatomy Provides details on invertebrate dissection and processing invertebrates for histology Written for veterinary pathologists, biologists, zoologists, students, and other scientists studying these species, Invertebrate Histology offers the most updated information on the topic written by over 20 experts in the field.
