A demanding, multidisciplinary, self-study text that provides an integrated approach to understanding biological defense mechanisms. Following an overview of the general strategies adopted by organisms to survive, the major part of the text is devoted to an in-depth discussion and comparison of the defense mechanisms of microorganisms, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates, including mammals, fish, and birds. The final two chapters focus on two types of threats that have become major issues of concern: ionizing radiation and the generation of toxic oxygen compounds. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
