If they need a guest lecturer, I'll fly anywhere that pays for the flight and boarding!<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen that Barnes book. I have an older version of Rupert & Barnes though. The Pechenick book a good starting point, but I really prefer <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Invertebrates-Richard-C-Brusca/dp/0878930973/ref=sr_1_1/002-8058091-6418421?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190511360&sr=8-1" REL="nofollow">Brusca & Brusca</A>. <BR/><BR/>Let us know what you end up doing for your group project as well.Kevin Zelniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192385384151149566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516432143173419194.post-55622766894674629432007-09-21T14:52:00.000-04:002007-09-21T14:52:00.000-04:00Said fantastic courses are offered at the Tel Aviv...Said fantastic courses are offered at the Tel Aviv university's life science school (here: http://www.tau.ac.il/lifesci/index-eng.html) <BR/><BR/>here's the description of the course:<BR/>"This course presents the importance of invertebrates in the animal kingdom and the variety of structural and functional patterns of the various invertebrate groups. the subjects are learned from a comparative and evolutionary point of view, over organization levels of structure and function. The processes are learned on a cell-size scale, on the tissues' scale and the organic scale while focusing on achieving the simple processes of life. Basic knowledge is particularly laced into this course's study so the student can understand the functioning of chosen systems amungst invertebrates, combined with modern, up to date knowledge, emphasizing the importance of invertebrates on the frontier of scientific biological studies."<BR/><BR/>books for the course: Barnes RSK, Calow P & Olive PJW. The invertebrates, a new synthesis. Blackwell Scientific Publications.<BR/>Pechenick, JA. Biology of the Invertebrates. McGraw Hill.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the course we're off to a three day trip on the Mediterranean beach doing group projects about invertebrates.

One hasn't been offered at Penn State since spring '05 with no plans to offer it for the foreseeable 2 years. <BR/><BR/>Thats sounds like an interesting course. Where do they offer such fantastic invert courses?Kevin Zelniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192385384151149566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516432143173419194.post-63118227522305810672007-09-15T00:42:00.000-04:002007-09-15T00:42:00.000-04:00You're welcome, Kev!Your blog tickled my curiosity...You're welcome, Kev!<BR/><BR/>Your blog tickled my curiosity for invertebrates so much.
