The History of Creation, Vol. 2 (of 2)
Ernst Haeckel and E. Ray (Edwin Ray), Sir Lankester
Haeckel builds the pedigree of life itself, from the kingdom of the Protista up through the plant and animal worlds. This second volume reads the record of creation in the strata, tracing periods and petrifications toward the branching tree of species. Ambitious, systematic, controversial. The completing half of one of the boldest evolutionary syntheses of its century. Climb the pedigree from the first cell.
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.
