A great book for teachers and learners

Though it is becoming somewhat dated (the only reason I gave this book 4 stars), this text is a great one for a one-semester undergraduate invertebrate zoology course. The book is pitched well for the undergraduate student. One thing that attracted me was the attention Kozloff pays to the smaller phyla, groups that are often given little time and space or are even left out completely in other texts developed for the undergraduate crowd. The line drawings and figures are good. If you are looking for a book to support an ecological/natural history flavor, then check out this book. If you want more emphasis on taxonomy try Rupert and Barnes. If you want an evolutionary approach, try Brusca and Brusca. I have used this book for my Jr/Sr level invertebrate zoology course since it came out and I have been quite happy with it, but if there's not an update in the near future I may need to consider switching texts.
