The Classification Conundrum.
Granger, Charles R.
Science Teacher, v50 n9 p43-44 Dec 1983
Argues against the five-kingdom scheme of classification as using inconsistent criteria, ending up with divisions that are forced, not natural. Advocates an approach using cell type/complexity and modification of the metabolic machinery, recommending the five-kingdom scheme as starting point for class discussion on taxonomy and its conceptual framework.
