The Animals and Man, an Elementary Textbook of Zoology and Human Physiology (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Animals and Man, an Elementary Textbook of Zoology and Human Physiology
This book is a simple introduction to the study of the structure, physiology, behavior and classification of animals and to the study of the make-up and physiology of the human body. It makes use of some of what have been proved by experience to be the most useful parts specially revised for this book of the authors Elementary Zoology and First Lessons in Zoology, to which have been added new chapters on human structure and physiology and on certain special relations between animals and man. The whole book has been written and arranged from the point of view of a biologist intent on making our knowledge of the make-up and life of the lower animals help in understanding human structure and physiology and in contributing to human welfare. I believe that this point of view need not militate in the least against the disciplinary or informational value of a text-book of zoology. I believe, indeed, that it will enhance these values.
Chapters XXI to XXVIII, on human structure and physiology, were written by Assistant Professor Isabel McCracken of this University, and to that extent Miss McCracken is joint author of the book.
I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to those numerous zoologists who have accorded me permission to use illustrations original with them. The sources of these repeated illustrations are indicated in the captions of the pictures. The drawings for the figures original with me have mostly been made by Miss Mary Wellman and Air. Sekko Shimada to both of whom I am under obligation for their intelligent and skilful help.
