Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Two far flying finches from South America encounter the distant islands of the Galapagos!What strange new animals will they find there What changes will they have to make to adapt to their new home And, most importantly, will they find their favourite kind of food The aim of this book is to creatively illustrate one of the core concepts of science in a manner that is accessible and engaging for young children. Darwin's theory of evolution changed how we view all life on Earth; instead of permanently fixed, perfect species there is constant change to potentially find something new and better suited to the environment.

Lacking any colored plates, as issued, with all plates facing right as bound.**These three volumes by the Harvard- and Brown Univ.- educated PHYSICIAN AND SCIENTIST, DR AMOS BINNEY (1803-1847) are significant as the first American work of its kind in the field of malocology --the study of invertebrate mollusks, such as snails, slugs, clams and cephalopods, which includes octopi, squid and cuttlefish. Dr. Amos Binney, trained as a medical doctor though never intended to enter medicine; rather it was a way for him to immerse himself in scientific inquiry. (DNB) His shell and mollusk collecting days dated from his time at Brown, and later at Harvard in the 1820's and 30's. He became a man of business upon the death of his father, with interests in real estate and mining which would make him an independently wealthy man. However, still suffering from ill health, he was forced to withdraw for a time from college and travelled to Ohio on horseback. While there, he added fossils and dinosaur remains to his collecting purview. Still ill, a recuperative trip to Europe was prescribed, from which unfortunately, he did not survive. His wife Mary Ann and son William were thus tasked with arranging the conclusion of Amos Binney's work, during which time, more shells were collected from outside Massachusetts, at least two illustrators died, and various engravers had to be engaged, making this project a bit of a publisher's nightmare. Dr. Binney and his posthumous editor the conchology expert, Dr. AUGUSTUS ADDISON GOULD (1805-1866) were both founding members of the Boston Natural History Society, from which would evolve the modern day Boston Museum of Science. Dr. Binney was also a most generous benefactor of the Society, and frequent contributor to its journal prior to his death. Amos Binney was also a member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, The New York Lyceum of Natural History and the Saint Louis Academy of Science. This work cemented his lasting international reputation in the field of malacology. Scarce to market.**REFS: LOC: ca 07005537. OCLC 7520273.
