Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Classic of biology and modern science sets forth seminal "theory of transformation" — that one species evolves into another not by successive minor changes in individual body parts but by large-scale transformations involving the body as a whole. Rich literary style. Over 500 photographs and drawings. Index.
Book News Annotation:
**** A reprint of Thompson's classic work on animal morphology, first
published by Cambridge U. Press in 1942 and endorsed by BCL3 (and
every other competent bibliography on biology). Now printed on
acid-free paper, but bound using the sewn-look fraud we characterize
as notch glued. (This lapse is a shock--Dover has led the pack in
producing well-constructed and very inexpensive books.)
