Brusca is the 21st century’s authoritative reference on invertebrate zoology. The most compelling feature is its comprehensiveness. It is the book that I turn to when I need to review basic biology or systematics of invertebrates.

This book is an excellent reference text that will fill you in on material, providing you a feeling of having had a solid introduction to the clade in question. It is also now the most up to date text, which is important with the changes in taxonomy.
