Understanding the need for a pragmatic approach to the traditional branches of biological science, the book takes a look at the principles, practices and concepts of zoology, and how they can be moulded within the framework of practical application. The emergence of fields like genetic engineering and biotechnology has signalled the fact that biology is increasing moving in a pragmatic direction, and that this change needs to be heralded.
The book is a testimony to this fact, reviewing zoology as it is currently applied for human use and consumption, and what prospects it holds for the future in terms of practice. |
