Anatomy and physiology: The book offers detailed descriptions of basic anatomy, making it a valuable reference for dissections of fish, frogs, birds, and mammals. It provides insight into how vertebrates function, covering a wide range of topics.
Evolution: It traces the evolutionary history of vertebrates from their inconspicuous beginnings as simple, worm-like creatures with a notochord, or stiff cartilage rod, to the complex animals we see today. The book also examines controversial topics related to evolution.
Systematic arrangement: The text retains a systematic arrangement that provides a thorough treatment of different vertebrate groups. According to a review on LibraryThing, it gives each phylum significant attention, with extensive sections on subjects like bird anatomy, ecology, and behavior.
Energetics: A key theme is the evolutionary drive towards living under more difficult conditions, requiring organisms to gather and expend more energy to survive. Young explores how different vertebrate groups evolved strategies to meet these energetic demands.
