Review:
"This four-volume reference set presents a range of concepts about the animal world covered in the high school biology curriculum, including historical information, careers in animal science, and ethical issues...Each topic is written by a different contributor, using explicit scientific terms. Vocabulary words are written in bold with definitions in a side panel. An important feature in this set is that each topic includes one or more photographs, tables, or other graphic images to enhance readability and understanding. At the end of each article are cross-references and a bibliography. Each book has a glossary with easy-to-read definitions of vocabulary words, as well as an index...Recommended."
