The story of the universe. Volume 4 (of 4)
Esther Singleton
The final volume belongs to animals, from Huxley's overview of the kingdom to Cuvier's classes, the glowing jellyfish, and the strange fauna of the deep sea. Esther Singleton closes her four-part anthology with the science of animal life told by its masters. A fitting end to a tour of stars, earth, plants, and beasts. Meet the animal world in expert company.
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.
