Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a classic scientific method of animal classification conceived by renowned naturalist Georges Cuvier, considered one of the fathers of modern paleontology and comparative anatomy. Cuvier developed a classification based on organismal form and function, with a particular focus on animal physiology, anatomy, and embryology. His methodology established a broader understanding of how organisms relate to one another. The text begins with an introduction to Cuvierâs life and work before exploring his unique approach to zoological classification. It then offers a comprehensive overview of Cuvierâs system, including his four animal categories: vertebrates, mollusks, articulates, and radiates. The book concludes by highlighting the ongoing impact of Cuvier's legacy on our understanding of the animal kingdom and the significance of his work in shaping the field of zoology. 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.…

Cloth. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A good copy of the 10th volume in the Griffith edition of 'The Animal Kingdom arranged in conformity with its Organization by the Baron Cuvier', which is complete in itself. The Griffith edition has particularly fine detailed plates which are black and white in most copies, and occasionally in colour. This copy has 64 black and white plates. The page format is unusually large - 25.9cm x 20 cm. It has been rebound at some point in maroon buckram cloth with gilt titles and the name Foyle to the spine. There is some darker marking to the spine; some rubbing to edges and joints and the corner wear. The rebinding has unfortunately attached the series title page to the front endpaper at the gutter and has done the same with the rear endpaper and the final leaf. The stitching is visible two leaves in at the front and one leaf back at the rear. However, the binding is sound and clean. Contents are very clean with occasional light marking, mainly to top margins and some offsetting from the plates. There is some marking to the series title page. Contents: series title; volume title; note thanking Dr P B Lord 1p; plate list 2 pp; text pp 1-680 with 64 plates.…
