Excerpt from The Popular Science Monthly, Vol. 79: July to December, 1911
This being true, is it not remarkable that such unanimity of agree ment should have resulted from its application? It appears to predi cate the existence of a racial concept of greatness. Undoubtedly this racial idea exists. Philosophers Of esthetics have troubled themselves not a little to account for its origination.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by the author of the acclaimed 'Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom' illuminates aspects of natural concealment largely overlooked up until its publication. The author argues that the traditional approach to the study of animal coloration has placed undue emphasis on the way that animals' colors and patterns help them to blend in with their surroundings, while neglecting their equally important role in enabling them to avoid detection by predators. Drawing on a wealth of examples, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the various ways in which animals use their coloration to conceal themselves from predators, from the striking black-and-white stripes of zebras to the leaf-like patterns of stick insects. The book also explores the implications of these findings for our understanding of the evolution of animal coloration, and offers a fresh perspective on the complex relationship between predators and prey.
