Herbert Spencer
Herbert Spencer turns to form itself, tracing the morphological composition of plants and animals. This second volume tackles the problems of morphology, building his grand biological system toward its structural core. Sweeping, rigorous, and ambitious. The completing half of one of the nineteenth century's boldest theories of life. For readers who want biology argued as vast philosophy. Follow Spencer's system to its structural heights.
