Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an overview of the field of Zoology, the science of animals. The author, a prominent naturalist of his era, provides a survey of the discipline around the middle of the 19th century. The text is arranged into three main parts: Description, History, and Comparative Anatomy. Description provides precise accounts of the external and internal parts of the animal body, along with an overview of animal classification. History covers the comparative study of animal nature and intellect, examining the diversity of animal behavior, and the general laws of animal organization and unity. Comparative Anatomy investigates the similarities and differences between the anatomies of distinct animal species, including humans. The author progresses from a discussion of more general concepts to increasingly specific topics, which allows the reader to build a firm understanding of the field as a whole before delving into its intricate details. The author's insights on comparative anatomy have had a lasting impact on the discipline, and his work remains an important reference for modern zoologists.
