Describes the ways animals use color as camouflage, warn predators they're poisonous, and communicate with friends and enemies. Some animals change colors when they get hot or cold, or when they are scared, while others change color as they age. Features two-page spreads of animals from each color of the rainbow and animals in multiple color combinations.

The Color Atlas of Small Animal Necropsy was written to serve as a guide for veterinary students, technicians, and clinicians on the important aspects of necropsy in dogs and cats. Using over 230 vivid color photographs, it aims to show the reader the proper standardized necropsy dissection technique, as well as to familiarize the prosector with examples of common gross and microscopic lesions, detail important preparatory pre-necropsy considerations, and discuss common diseases and disease processes.

Applying Properties of Animals Skins to Inspire Architectural Envelopes Biology influences design projects in many ways; the related discipline is known as biomimetics or biomimicry. Using the animal kingdom as a source of inspiration, Ilaria Mazzoleni seeks to instill a shift in thinking about the application of biological principles to design and architecture. She focuses on the analysis of how organisms have adapted to different environments and translates the learned principles into the built environment. To illustrate the methodology, Mazzoleni draws inspiration from the diversity of animal coverings, referred to broadly as skin, and applies them to the design of building envelopes through a series of twelve case studies. Skin is a complex organ that performs a multitude of functions; namely, it serves as a link between the body and the environment. Similarly, building envelopes act as interfaces between their inhabitants and external elements. The resulting architectural designs illustrate an integrative methodology that allows architecture to follow nature. "Ilaria Mazzoleni, in collaboration with biologist Shauna Price, has developed a profound methodology for architectural and design incentives that anticipates and proposes novel ways to explore undiscovered biological inspirations for various audiences." —Yoseph Bar-Cohen
