Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Mechanism, Vol. 11: A Treatise on Terrestrial and Aerial Locomotion Living beings have been frequently and in every age compared to machines, but it is only in the present day that the bearing and the justice Of this comparison are fully comprehensible. NO doubt, the physiologists Of Old discerned levers, pulleys, cordage, pumps, and valves In the animal organism, as in the machine. The working Of all this machinery is called Animal Mechanics in a great number Of standard treatises. But these passive organs have need of a motor; it is life, it was said, which set all these mechanisms going, and it was believed that thus there was authoritatively established an inviolable barrier between inanimate and animate machines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanism of Life: In Relation to Modern Physical Theory IT is possible that the title of this book may be misleading to some readers, and so an explanation may, very appropriately, form the subject of this introduction. Well, then, by the mechanism of life is meant nothing more than the results of a scientific analysis of the activities of living animals. First, we must define what is meant by scientific method, and this is not at all di cult now that Einstein, Eddington, and the other relativists, have persuaded us to think about what we do when we investigate something scientifically. What we do, in that case, is to observe space-time coincidences in a four-dimensional manifold - that is really and actually our procedure, though it seems rather dreadful! It would be very inconvenient, also, to sustain oneself in this plane all the while, and so we proceed to let ourselves down to earth, so to speak. From the space coincidences that we observe (for instance, the coincidences of the top of a column of mercury in a barometer tube with certain marks on the adjoining scale) we infer space measurements, and from the coincidences of the hands of a clock with marks on the dial we infer time measurements. That simplifies the method a good deal. Then it is only the relations between series of space-time measurements that form the data of science (its differential equations), but that, again, is very trying, and so we assume that there are things in nature. These things are separated from each other, at the same instant of time, by intervals of space, while they are separated from each other, in the same space, by intervals of time. Thus we have something to lean up against and sustain ourselves in this rather di loult process of apprehending nature. The things that we regard as existing apart from each other in space and time are electrons. But just yet that is rather inconvenient, and so we regard our natural things as atoms and molecules in motion in an arbitrary three dimensional space and an arbitrary one-dimensional time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution of Arthropod Mechanisms Any study of evolution necessarily involves theories, but if we stopped short with known facts our phylogenetic trees would wither at the roots. Particularly when we attempt to reconstruct events that took place in remote Precambrian times we can have recourse only to our imagination. Where connecting links between modern animals cannot be known, we must invent them; at least, if evolution is true, we can feel sure that connecting links really did exist. Imagination, of course, must be controlled by reasoning from the known to the unknown, but unfortunately our brains do not all reason in the same way and often produce very different concepts from the same set of facts. Yet some ideas Should be more plausible than others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Habits and Instincts of Animals Experience, and without a knowledge of the end in view, they are impelled to the performance of certain actions, tending to the well-being of the individual, and the preservation of the species. So far, then, and considered as merely a general definition, or rather description, of instinct, this opinion is perfectly satis factory; but it does not reach all the various bearings of this complicated subject. When we find some animals not only impelled to perform certain necessary func tions in a regular and unvarying manner, one gene ration following another in exactly the same track, and supplying their different wants in precisely the same manner, -but also that many others actually vary in what should seem to be the universal ordination of nature, and, as if in obedience to the deductions of reason, accurately adapting their plans to their circum stances, and their measures to those unexpected changes which accident may have wrought in their situation, with these facts upon record, we feel it is not sur prising that some who have written on the subject have gone a step further. They have, in fact, sought to solve the question, by admitting that, besides the faculty of instinct, animals may, in an inferior degree, also possess that of reason. But this admission brings with it fresh difficulties. If once We allow the least degree of reason to the brute creation, we must concede a portion of it altogether incompatible with their situation. Ive must admit that the bee, for instance, is guided in her wonderful Operations, by an acquaintance with those principles of science, which man has required time and reflection to discover. We must, in short, acknow ledge her both a geometrician and a philosopher and endue her with a perception of causes and effects, in consistent with the other habits and appearances of the creature, absolutely derogatory to the superior nature of man. (2) A much more probable solution of this question, and one far more conformable to the relative positions of man and brute, is afforded by the idea, that animals.

Download or read book How Animals Work Classic Reprint written by F. Martin Duncan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Animals Work I have carefully avoided all technical terms as far as possible, and endeavoured to tell the story of some of the wonders of Animal Craftsmanship in plain and simple language; for this little book is intended for the general reader, and not for the expert who has a store house of technical literature at his disposal. The very wealth of material from which to draw has been something of an embarrassment, where limited space has made it possible to give only a brief survey of certain forms, making it necessary to be somewhat drastic in the selection of examples. However, my guiding idea in their selection has been to place before the reader, as far as circumstances would permif, the most striking examples, and, at the same time, those which the reader can in a large number of cases see for himself, either during his rambles in the country, or by visiting any well-ordered natural history museum. If these pages should serve to awaken a new interest in the marvels of Nature and the wonderful skill dis played by such varied forms of animal life, and perhaps stimulate the reader to seek himself for further examples, then my labours have not been in vain, and this volume will have justified its existence.

Download or read book Animal Physiology Classic Reprint written by William Benjamin Carpenter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Physiology The importance of the study of Animal Physiology, as a branch of General Education, can scarcely be over-estimated and it is remarkable that it is not more generally appreciated. It might have been Supposed that curiosity alone would have led the mind of Man to the eager study of those wonderful actions by which his body is constructed and maintained; and that a knowledge of those laws, the observance of which is necessary for the due performance of these actions, - in other words, for the maintenance of his health - would have been an object of universal pursuit. That it has not hitherto been so, may be attributed to several causes. The very familiarity of the occurrences is one of these. We are much more apt to seek for explanations of phenomena that rarely present themselves, than of those which we daily witness. The Comet excites the world's curiosity, whilst the movements of the sun, moon, and planets are regarded as things of course. We almost daily see vast numbers of animals of different tribes, in active life around us; their origin, growth, movements, decline, death, and reproduction, are continually taking place under our eyes, and there seems to common apprehension nothing to explain, where everything is so apparent. And of Man too, the ordinary Vital actions are so familiar, that the study of their condi Ions appears superfluous. To be born, to grow, to be subject to occasional disease, to decline, to die, is his lot in common with other animals and What know ledge can avail (it may be asked) to avert the doom imposed on him by his Creator?

Download or read book Principles of Animal Biology Classic Reprint written by A. Franklin Shull and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Animal Biology Thus histology deals with the grouping of cells of a given kind into masses or layers called tissues. The epidermis of the skin is composed of cells of the same general kind grouped together; it is therefore a tissue. Muscle and bone are tissues, as are also tendons, many glands, and the components of the nervous system. Cytology, contrariwise, is concerned with the minute components of cells, the parts of the nucleus, the minute structure of the living matter, the nature of cell organs, and the like. Embryology has to do with the young or developmental stages of animals. When it is purely descriptive, dealing only with the structures of these young stages, not with the processes going on in them, it is morphological in its nature. In creating subdivisions of zoology, the several morphological branches mentioned in the preceding paragraphs have occasionally been elevated to equal rank with the divisions described below; but Since they do not differ in principle, all being concerned with structure, it seems better to combine all of them under the Single head, morphology. Morphology is historically the oldest of the divisions of zoology, Since in early times practically all that was known of animals was their structure.

Download or read book The Individual in the Animal Kingdom Classic Reprint written by Julian Huxley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Individual in the Animal Kingdom Certain criticisms have convinced me that some explanation of the scope of this book will here not be out of place. The task I have attempted in the following pages is a two-fold one. First, I have tried to frame a general definition of the Individual, sufficiently objective to permit of its application by the man of science, while at the same time admitted as accurate (though perhaps regarded as incomplete) by the philosopher. Secondly, I have tried to show in what ways Individuality, as thus defined by me, manifests itself In the Animal Kingdom. I wish here to point out in general, that the failure of one of these aims does not preclude the success of the other; and, in particular, this - it is possible that the philosophically-minded will quarrel with my definition of the Individual (p. 28) as a continuing whole with inter-dependent parts (to put it at its baldest). But even if he denies that the definition applies to the Individual, he must, I think, admit that it does apply to something, and to something which plays a very important part in the organic world. He will, I believe, after reading the subsequent chapters, be brought to see that every living thing is in some way related to one of thesesystems, these continuing wholes; and that such wholes, though they may not in his eyes deserve the name of Individual, are yet sufficiently widespread and important to merit some title of their own. Put in other words, the major portion of this book is devoted to showing that living matter always tends to group itself into these closed, independent systems with harmonious parts. Though the closure is never complete, the independence never absolute, the harmony never perfect, yet systems and tendency alike have real existence. Such systems I personally believe can be identified with the Individuals treated of by the philosopher, and I have tried to establish this belief. But what's in a name? The systems are there whatever we may choose to call them, and if I have shown that, I shall be content. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Nutrition: Investigations at the Institute of Animal Nutrition of the Pennsylvania State College With the Co-Operation of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture; Collected Papers, 1912-1922 Feed is supplied to farm animals in order that they may either yield products useful to man as materials for human food and cloth ing or serve him by the performance of mechanical work. But as a factory must first be supplied with enough power to keep in motion the shafting, belting, and other machinery before any product can be turned out, so the animal mechanism must be provided with Sufficient feed to maintain the processes essential to life before any continued production is possible. The amount of feed required for this purpose is called the maintenance ration of the particular animal. It is the quantity of feed necessary simply to support the animal when doing no work and yielding no material product. If an animal receiving exactly a maintenance ration were subjected to a so-called balance experiment, there would be found an exact equality between income and outgo of ash, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and energy, showing that the body was neither gaining nor losing protein, fat, carbohydrates, or ash. The word maintenance is sometimes used popularly in another sense to signify the total amount of feed required, for example, by a horse in order to perform his daily work or by a calf in order to make a normal growth. It is important to grasp the idea that, in its technical sense, the maintenance requirement means the minimum required simply to sustain life. The feed of the horse or calf would, from this point of view, be regarded as consisting of two portions; one of these is the maintenance ration, which if fed by itself would just support the horse at rest or the calf without growth, and the other the productive portion of the ration by means of which work is done or growth made. To recur to the illustration of the factory, the maintenance ration keeps the empty machinery running, while the additional feed furnishes the power necessary to turn out the product.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theology of Mechanicalism Assuming for a primary postulate that animal or ganisms are conscious machines, the operations of which are in strict accordance with the specific nature of their embodied forces and the mechanical arrange ment of their parts, it becomes a necessary sequence that the general laws of mechanical function which are applicable to the analogous correlated elements of inanimate machines should also be applicable to the corresponding correlated elements of the animal or ganism. And in following out this assumed analogy of function, we must necessarily be restricted to the mechanical terms applied to the related elements of the known inanimate mechanism, in order to prevent confusion and misunderstanding when thus making a comparison between the functional elements of inani mate machines and the corresponding elements of the animal organism, to which a terminology not applica ble to the parts of inanimate machines has been here tofore applied.
