Sir Ray Lankester could make a barnacle or a comet feel like breaking news. In these five essays the celebrated zoologist ranges across the living and physical world from his favorite armchair, explaining hard science in plain, companionable prose. No laboratory required, only curiosity. Settle in for an afternoon with one of Britain's great popular naturalists.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
