The Labyrinth of Animals, Vol. 1: Including Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Labyrinth of Animals, Vol. 1: Including Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians
Representations of the membranous labyrinth are to be found m numerous text-books and papers, but none of these show the object as it really is. Such representations, how ever correct, are only composite pictures built up by succes sive generations of anatomists from observations made upon small fragments, sections and casts of the labyrinth. They reach a high degree of accuracy considering the methods of investigation at the disposal of the anatomists who made them, and it is astonishing how these investigators were able, in face of such difficulties, to construct such wonder fully accurate reproductions. This is more particularly true of the labyrinth of man, which has naturally been studied the most. Indeed, it will be seen that I have but little to add to what is already known of the anatomy of the human labyrinth.

The Labyrinth of Animals, Vol. 1: Including Mammals, Birds (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive book meticulously details the anatomical variations found in the labyrinth of different species of animals. It is the result of seven years of painstaking research by the author, who devised an innovative method for making anatomical preparations. Previously, it was impossible for one individual to examine more than a few animal labyrinths, hindering the classification of different species. The author's method has overcome this challenge, allowing for a far more thorough understanding of the evolutionary relationships among animals. This book not only describes the labyrinth of mammals but also provides insights into the anatomy of the labyrinth in birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The author draws comparisons between the different species, highlighting similarities and differences in the structure of the labyrinth as it relates to their respective functions. The book's detailed descriptions and stunning stereoscopic images, which can be viewed with the included instructions, make this a valuable resource for students of comparative anatomy, evolutionary biologists, and otolaryngologists. Its findings have significant implications for understanding the evolutionary history of animals and the development of the labyrinth in different species. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282995355_0
