"The evolution of the eye spans 3.75 billion years from single cell organisms with eyespots to Metazoa with superb camera style eyes. At least ten different ocular models have evolved independently into myriad optical and physiological masterpieces. The story of the eye reveals evolution's greatest triumph and sweetest gift. This book describes its journey"--Provided by publisher.

A raccoon with burned feet who refuses to give up, a self-appointed guardian hen who refuses to leave an injured fox, an abandoned emu who plays pickup sticks with an old one-winged vulture, and a traumatized mother mockingbird who adopts an orphaned sparrow are among the characters. The tales are from Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, which Cuny founded in 1977, and are intended to convince readers that non-human species think and feel. She includes black-and-white photographs. No index or bibliography. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

If you could have any animal's hair, whose would you choose? If you had a polar bear's double coat, you would never have to wear a hat when playing in the snow. If you had reindeer hair, it could help you stay afloat in water. And if you had a porcupine's hair, no bully would ever bother you again! WHAT IF YOU HAD ANIMAL HAIR? is a follow-up to the adorable WHAT IF YOU HAD ANIMAL TEETH? Each spread will feature a photographic image of the animal and its hair on the left and an illustration of a child with that animal's hair on the right. As in ANIMAL TEETH, the illustrations will be humorous and will accompany informative text.

The eye is a complex sensory organ, which enables visual perception of the world. Thus the eye has several tissues that do different tasks. One of the most basic aspects of eye function is the sensitivity of cells to light and its transduction though the optic nerve to the brain. Different organisms use different ways to achieve these tasks. In this sense, eye function becomes a very important evolutionary aspect as well. This book presents the different animal models that are commonly used for eye research and their uniqueness in evaluating different aspects of eye development, evolution, physiology and disease. - Presents information on the major animal models used in eye research including invertebrates and vertebrates - Provides researchers with information needed to choose between model organisms - Includes an introductory chapter on the different types of eyes, stressing possible common molecular machinery

Veterinary Ocular Pathology: A Comparative Review links the clinical features of ocular disease with gross and microscopic pathology to demonstrate the essential features observable during diagnosis. It is designed to be kept next to the microscope as an invaluable guide to accurate diagnosis in ocular pathology. The book presents a wide range of images of the highest quality. A unique and distinctive feature is the juxtaposition of clinical and pathological images while offering detailed enumeration of the diagnostic features. Expert comparative comments by Dr Daniel Albert and contextual information on relative incidence are provided throughout. The authors address spontaneous disease of the eye in all animal species, with a particular emphasis on companion species. In addition, specific, common or interesting conditions of exotic species are included. - The first text devoted to the pathology of spontaneous diseases of the eyes and periocular tissues of domestic animal species - Exceptionally high quality illustrations are presented throughout, demonstrating clinical features, gross pathology and histopathology - Written by pathologists and clinicians - Includes a chapter devoted to the pathology of conditions associated with glaucoma in domestic animals A convenient, comprehensive and easy-to-use reference for veterinary pathologists, veterinary ophthalmologists, students and comparative vision scientists. - The first text devoted to the pathology of spontaneous diseases of the eyes and periocular tissues of domestic animal species - Exceptionally high quality illustrations are presented throughout, demonstrating clinical features, gross pathology and histopathology - Written by pathologists and clinicians - Includes a chapter devoted to the pathology of conditions associated with glaucoma in domestic animals
