This is a well presented and well organised book that leads you through the general themes of the Invertebrates. It goes on to describe the more specific themes of each sub-group. It describes these remedy states with their undeveloped 'backbone' and consequent need for structure and support. The book describes in detail how their 'soft' bodies leave them with few defences and as a result they suffer anxieties and fears relating to the world and their relationships, and their own ability to develop and function.

Kalathia is a very experienced homeopath and has compiled information from his own experience as well as such rich sources such as Rajan Sankharan, Jan Scholten, Jo Evans, the Joshis, Mahesh Gandhi and Jonathan Hardy.

This title is a useful source book for analysing the Invertebrates and their themes, and we would recommend Jo Evan's book 'Sea Remedies' as a companion title for anyone wishing to explore this group of remedies in more depth.
