Reviews
'Anyone with an interest in phylogeny at high taxonomic levels should own this book, and this applies to undergraduates in biological and palaeontological sciences as well as to advanced students and veteran professionals. It is an excellent sorting-out of a traditionally difficult area.' James W. Valentine, Nature, "...a magnificent treatise on metazoan phylogeny that should spawn considerable controversy and, with that, perhaps new insights into this age-old question." The Quarterly Review of Biology, ‘Anyone with an interest in phylogeny at high taxonomic levels should own this book, and this applies to undergraduates in biological and palaeontological sciences as well as to advanced students and veteran professionals. It is an excellent sorting-out of a traditionally difficult area.’James W. Valentine, Nature, "This book is 'must' reading for all invertebrate zoologists. In fact, anyone interested in the phylogenetic relationships of animals would benefit from reading this volume." Milton Fingerman, American Zoologist, "Willmer has succeeded in producing an excellent introduction to problems of phylogeny and a contemporary review of invertebrate zoology. No library attempting to keep abreast of advances in studying evolution of the invertebrates should be without it." Choice
