Dr. Lutz was my mentor at the University of NC at Greensboro and his textbook was used for Invertebrate Zooology. It was informative in an easy to understand language, in depth, but not over the head of any student. The illustrations were superb, the writing outstanding, the information complete. Even though I have sold or donated most of the texts used during my years at UNC-G, I have held on to this one and refer to it often. Excellent!
A great book for the home or campus

As a biology major in college, this was one of my favorite books, and is probably the main reason for my overall enjoyment of the course. The author has organized the book in a logical, easy to follow manner that takes the reader from the very simple, single-celled invertebrates all the way through to the more complex species, including giant squid, octopi, and jellyfish. While most books of this type are specific to either the laboratory or the lecture room, this book is useful for both, and can help to tie the two together in a meaningful way. It is profusely illustrated, with both excellent diagrams and photographs of the creatures it explores. I'd very much like to find an original copy of this book, just for the pleasure of having it.
