Reptiles and Birds
Louis Figuier and Parker Gillmore
A popular French naturalist opens the cold-blooded and the feathered worlds side by side. Figuier surveys the amphibians and batrachians, the turtles, the lizards, the snakes, and the crocodiles, richly illustrated for the general reader. A handsome Victorian introduction to two great branches of life. Meet the reptiles and birds through the eyes of a gifted popularizer.
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.
