Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World of Animal Life In this opening chapter we shall learn something about the Classification Of Animals; or, in other words, about the way in which animals are arranged by men of science. Now, perhaps you will think that this is a very dull and dry subject, and that it cannot be Of interest to those who know nothing about it. But in reality it is not dull at all. Indeed, it is almost as interesting to find out how different animals are related to one another, as it is to learn about their ways and habits; for in doing so we are led to examine their bodily frames, and to notice how wonderfully every part is suited to the life which the animals have to lead. Some of us may think that it cannot be necessary to know anything about this subject, and that anyone who is really fond of animals can study them quite well, without understanding their natural arrangement. But this, as we shall presently see, is a great mistake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Animals, Vol. 7: The Animal Life of the World in Its Various Aspects and Relations Any change in the surroundings which brings the sensitive ness of an organism into play is technically known as a stimulus (l. Slz'mulus, an ox-goad), and stimuli may broadly be classified as mechanical, chemical, thermal, photic, and electrical. The corresponding stimulating agents are pressure, change in chemi cal nature of the surroundings, heat, light, and electricity, which are scientifically defined as different forms of energy, or, to use the old expression, force Protoplasm, like every other kind of matter, may be regarded as made up of excessively minute particles or molecules, much too small to be seen with even the most powerful microscope, which are in a state of constant vibration, throbbing, or to-and-fro movement. The pendulum affords a simple example of vibratory movement. It may further be said that every sort of stimulus is of the nature of a vibra tion, eg. In a sound-wave transmitted through air the particles of air move in a particular way and at a rate depending upon the pitch of the sound. All the changes that take place in living matter result from modifications in the movement of its molecules, but we are profoundly ignorant of What exactly takes place when, say, a muscle-fibre contracts or an impulse passes along a nerve. The adjustment to surroundings that is necessary for the maintenance of life results from these molecular changes in the body, which take place in response to the action of pressure, heat, light, &c., these themselves being of a Vibratory nature, as has already been stated. So far as an animal is sensitive to its surroundings it is comparable to a complex musical instrument capable of playing all sorts of tunes With all kinds of variations, in response to external influences of different kind. The reaction of an animal to its environment at any given moment depends upon how external agents are acting upon it at that moment: it is they which call the tune. If the supposed musical instrument could also play tunes of its own accord, independently of the direct action of the surround ings, such tunes might be taken to represent the spontaneous actions of an animal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.
