An adult great white is a big shark really big. It has been responsible for more shark bites and human deaths than any other species, according to the International Shark Attack File. This is probably because it sees us as aberrant marine mammals flailing about in the water and certainly worth an exploratory bite but a gentle mouthing from a two-tonne white shark, its jaws filled with row upon row of razor-sharp teeth, could result in a severe mauling for any victim unlucky enough to have attracted its attention.Though its danger was well known to ancient mariners, it was not until the mid-1970s that it came to occupy its current place in the popular imagination, when Jaws was unleashed on an unsuspecting public. The great white sharks reputation hit rock bottom in the wake of the Spielberg classic. But during the fifty years since the films first release, public interest in the species has sparked a renaissance in research, producing remarkable new insights into the life of this extraordinary animal.Telling the story of the great white shark from the perspectives of history, psychology and biology, White Shark is nothing less than the biography of the worlds most fascinating fish.

Los artrópodos son el grupo animal más abundante y diverso del planeta, representados en más de un millón doscientas mil especies conocidas. Ocupan una gran cantidad de nichos tanto de ecosistemas acuaticos como terrestres y son protagonistas en muchas de las actividades y labores desarrolladas por los humanos.Son de gran importancia como polinizadores, recicladores de nutrientes, y de gran papel en las cadenas troficas. Son los comunmente conocidos como bichos, insectos, acaros, garrapatas, arañas, ciempies, milpies, langostas, camarones, cangrejos, moscas, zancudos, cucarachas, entre muchos nombres dados en lengua castellana. Su gran diversidad implica que realizar una aproximacion a su clasificacion natural tenga cierto grado de complejidad, asi como su posterior labor de reconocimiento taxonomico, lo cual es importante para diferenciarlos en el marco de su historia natural, importancia relativa y sus relaciones con los ecosistemas en donde viven.Asi, este libro se presenta como una guia introductoria al conocimiento de los grupos de artropodos en los niveles jerarquicos de subphilum, clases, subclases y ordenes. Es un complemento importante de las clases magistrales de un curso sobre Zoologia de Artropodos. Para facilitar esta labor, se ha dividido en doce practicas en las cuales se brinda al estudiante orientacion y una serie de pasos que permiten hacer un reconocimiento morfologico y anatomico detallado y descriptivo de todo el organismo de estudio y sus partes. En cada practica se han dejado espacios en blanco en los cuales el estudiante hace directamente sus ilustraciones en lapiz, completa los cuadros y responde las preguntas planteadas con el fin de reafirmar el conocimiento. Por otro lado, se lo familiariza con el uso de claves de determinacion taxonomica hasta el nivel de clase y orden.

En México, la fauna silvestre impulsó el establecimiento y desarrollo de las civilizaciones prehispánicas. La gran diversidad de especies y la abundancia de sus poblaciones motivaron a que a partir de la epoca colonial, se considerara que la fauna era inagotable, lo que propicio el proceso historico de su sobreexplotacion. Esta obra documenta, en diferentes periodos de la historia de Mexico, las acciones en torno a la conservacion de la fauna silvestre, con el proposito fundamental de servir de fuente de analisis para avanzar en la revaloracion de la fauna mexicana como recurso renovable, componente de la biodiversidad y capital natural del pais.
