"Systematics and Classification" introduces students at A Level and beyond to the methods used in systematics and their application to modern biology. There are many accepted ways of classifying organisms. The classification adopted in this book is based on five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Plantae, Fungi and Animalia. The book examines how a system of classification is produced and discusses the development of taxonomy, including cladistics. It also covers the principles of numerical taxonomy. The photographs in the book are used to illustrate those characteristics of the organism that give it its place in the classification.
