Colouration in Animals and Plants
Alfred Tylor and Sydney Barber Josiah Skertchly
Why is a leaf green, a flamingo pink, a tiger striped? Alfred Tylor gathers the evidence on coloration in living things, asking what color is for and how nature produces it. An early inquiry into camouflage, display, and pigment across animals and plants. A thoughtful Victorian science read. For anyone who has wondered why the living world is painted as it is.
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.
