A landmark work in invertebrate zoology, Molluscs by J. E. Morton presents a comprehensive and authoritative scientific account of one of the most diverse animal phyla on Earth. The text details the anatomy, physiology, classification, and evolutionary biology of molluscs — a group encompassing creatures from garden snails and slugs to squid, octopuses, and bivalves. Written with academic rigour yet accessible precision, it chronicles the biological relationships and adaptive strategies that have allowed molluscs to colonise nearly every habitat on the planet. Morton, a Lecturer in Zoology at Queen Mary College, University of London, argues for a systematic understanding of the group through careful morphological and functional analysis, making this an indispensable reference for students and researchers of invertebrate biology alike.
