A Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural History (Paperback)
Published by Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2009
ISBN 10: 1108005233 ISBN 13: 9781108005234
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. William Swainson F. R. S., was recognised principally as a zoologist, an ornithologist and a skilled and prolific illustrator. He also had a tremendous enthusiasm for seeking and identifying new species. In this 1834 volume however, Swainson addressed the nature of, foundations for and successful pursuit of zoology. It argues firmly for the key importance of taxonomy. Swainson was an ardent advocate of MacLeay's now entirely outmoded 'quinary' system of classification even then a distinctly minority view. This sought affinities, patterns and analogies among organisms, in order to discern God's order. More than a mere curiosity, such work was of pivotal concern to enterprising naturalists of the 1820s and 1830s including the young Charles Darwin. It also reached Robert Chambers, whose 1844 Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation was an important landmark in the development of the theory of evolution. William Swainson (17891855) considers here the successful pursuit of zoology. Emphasising the key importance of taxonomy, Swainson advocated the now defunct 'quinary' system of classification. More than a mere historical curiosity, this work was one of the many which provided an intellectual context for the theory of evolution.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rise and progress of zoology, narrating the evolution of our understanding and study of the animal kingdom. The author charts a historical path, beginning with Aristotle and Pliny, the pioneers of zoological thought, and continuing through to the era of Linnaeus and beyond. This comprehensive work sheds light on the development of taxonomy, the influence of natural history expeditions, and the evolution of scientific thought on animal life and classification. It further explores the contributions of notable zoologists and the impact of their discoveries on shaping our comprehension of the animal world. Ultimately, this book serves as a testament to the rich tapestry of zoological exploration and discovery, highlighting how advancements in the field have deepened our knowledge and appreciation of the incredible diversity and interconnectedness of life on Earth.
