Book excerpt: Excerpt from Zoology: Descriptive and Practical, Descriptive The Plan. - The general plan of the book is to introduce each of the larger groups of animals by the careful study of a typical representative. It is the aim to present a fairly complete picture of the life of this type, - its place of living; its manner of securing food; its enemies and its means of protection; its mode of locomotion; the processes of digestion, circulation, and respiration; its sense organs; its development; its relations lo the plant world, to other animals, and to man. Following the study of the type is a general account of representative forms. The characteristics of the group are given in summarized form. Each chapter closes with a tabular classification of the group. Time for the Study of Zoology. - Of the three seasons during which school is in session, winter is the least desirable for the study of animals. Many of the birds have migrated; most of the insects have been killed; those that remain alive are in close hiding and are hard lo find, and still more so are their eggs, larvae, or pupae. A large number of animals are hibernating. Animal life is at low ebb. The choice of lime, then, is practically limited to fall and spring. While there is an abundance of life in the spring and some forms can better be studied then, on the whole animal life is at its highest activity in the fall. Again, since spring is preferred for botany, the foil seems the best time for zoology. The Order of Study. - The chief aim is to understand the lives of animals. To know them it is necessary to study them in relation to their surroundings. To do this to the best advantage they should be studied when at the hight of their activity. These points, then, must largely determine the order of study. For instance, if zoology is begun in the fall, one finds insects active and abundant.

Book excerpt: This is a major new textbook that is intended to lead students away from purely descriptive zoology courses into an experimental approach that emphasizes asking and answering questions about nature. The book gives a panoramic view of vertebrate life, classification, ecology and behaviour. Section I of the book describes the major groups of vertebrates and their origins. The second section covers classification and its methodology. Section III describes the ecology of vertebrates from two standpoints: how individuals cope with environmental extremes, and principles of population and community ecology as illustrated by experiments carried out in the field. Section IV describes the geographic distribution of vertebrates. The fifth section discusses migration. Vertebrate behaviour is the subject of the final section and covers observations and the theories and experiments they have inspired.

This book was released on 2009-08-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Octave Edmond Perrier was a French zoologist who lived through the tumult of British Darwinism and Lyellism, and reminds us in this revealing account that French scientists had much to contribute to such perennial topics as evolution, catastrophism and creationism. While very much a product of the Third Republic, Perrier’s account also aimed to outline timeless issues and permanent advances in taxonomic and developmental biology since classical Greece and Rome. In this aim he succeeds with surprisingly modern perspectives for a book first published in 1884. Perrier was born May 9, 1844 at Tulle, the son of the principal of a school which now bears his name, Lycée Edmond Perrier. In 1864 he was accepted to the École Normale Supérieure, where he was strongly influenced by Louis Pasteur and Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers. After working for three years at a high school in Agen, he obtained a post of naturalist-aid at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (1868), advancing in that institution to Chair of Natural History of Molluscs, Worms and Corals (1876–1903) and then Director of the museum (1900–1919) and Chair of Comparative Anatomy (1903–1921). Previous directors of the museum included many of the scientists he discusses in this book: George Cuvier (1822–1823, 1826–1827, 1830–1831), Isidore Geoffrey St Hilaire (1860– 1861), and Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1891–1900). Perrier’s own research on echinoderms and earthworms took him on several expeditions in 1880-1885, mostly to Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, but also to the Caribbean.

Precise has additionally been critical in starting the whole field of populace science, including populace genetics. It likewise includes new terms from life structures and physiology, biomechanics, neurophysiology, immunology, and transformative advancement. Detailed reference sections incorporate a rundown of imperiled creatures, the widespread hereditary code, the geologic time scale, SI units, and an ordered characterization conspire in light of the three-area ordered framework. Colossal, legitimate, and with language free definitions, this word reference is a key reference apparatus for understudies and instructors of zoology, organic sciences, and biomedical sciences, and a profitable asset for naturalists and anybody with an enthusiasm for creatures.
