Excerpt from The Animal Kingdom, Arranged in Conformity With Its Organization, Vol. 1 of 4: The Crustacea, Arachnides and Insecta It is also true, that there were very extensive works upon particular classes, which had made known a great number of new Species but their authors merely considered the exter nal relations of those species, and no one had employed him self In arranging the classes and orders from the ensemble of the structure the characters of several classes remained false or incomplete even in justly celebrated works of anatomy; some of the orders were arbitrary, and in scarcely any of these divisions were the genera placed conformably to nature.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Animal Kingdom, Vol. 1 of 4: Arranged According to Its Organization, Serving as a Foundation for the Natural History of Animals, and an Introduction to Comparative Anatomy I should, perhaps, have contented myself with perfecting these tables, and proceeded immediately to the publication of my great work on ana tomy, if, in the course of my researches, I had not been frequently struck with another defect of the greater number of the general or partial sys tems of zoology; I mean the confusion in which the want of critica'i acumen has left a great number of species, and even several genera. Not only were the classes and orders not in conformity with the ia timate nature of the animals, for the purpose of forming a foundation for a treatise on comparative anatomy; but the genera, though undoubtedly for the most part better composed, presented in their nomenclature very inadequate materials, inasmuch as the species were not arranged under each of them respectively according to its character. Thus, in placing the Sea cow (manatus, Cue.) in the genus Morse (trichechus, Lira), the Siren in that of the Eels, Gmelin had rendered any general proposition relative to the organization of these two genera impossible, just as by approximating to the same class the same order, and placing side by side the Sepia and the fresh water Polypus, he had made it impossible to say any thing in general on the class and order which embraced such different beings. The examples above cited are selected from the most striking of these errors; but the number of them that existed was infinite, and, though not so easily to be perceived at the first glance, still they were not the less sources of real inconvenience.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Animal Kingdom, Vol. 1: Based Upon the Writings of the Eminent Naturalists, Audubon, Wallace, Brehm, Wood, and Others It does not require to be pointed Out how fascinating a study Natural History in all its branches must ever be, or what a perpetual Source of interest can be found in Observing the forms and habits Of the living creatures which meet our view whatever portion Of the world we visit. Still more interesting and more instructive must be a knowledge Of that class of Animated Nature to which man himself belongs, and which contains such friends Of man as the dog that guards him, the horse that labors for him, the that supplies him food, and the sheep that furnishes him with clothing; till man had brought these under his dominion, bow inconceivably helpless he must have been! NO less instructive is it to note how the lower animals differ from or resemble Man, the crown of Nature's work; how admirably each species is adapt-cd for the loca tion in which its lot is cast, and for the uses it has to fulfil in the economy of the world; how marvellously they are endowed with power and grace and beauty. Especially in the present day is a knowledge Of the elements Of Natural History a necessary part Of our education. This work claims to minister to the educational wants of all classes, and therefore carefully avoids discussion Of unsettled points, and states nothing but incontro vertible facts. The order in which the various genera Of the Mammalia is placed has been adopted in accordance with the most eminent authorities.

Book Description
#1 Bookscan in Juvenile Non-fiction! ─ Be Brave… Stay Wild! Animal Stories for Kids: Coyote Peterson's Brave Adventures: Wild Animals in a Wild World chronicles some of the wildest encounters Coyote Peterson has had over the course of his travels. The stories begin with his first snapping turtle catch as a kid and lead down a trail of incredible moments he and his camera crew have had while filming their Brave Wilderness shows. From a giant alligator that nearly caught Coyote in its bone crushing jaws, to an 800 pound Grizzly Bear that helped him teach the audience what to do and NOT do if you ever encounter one of these enormous predators in the wild, every tale is laced with fast paced action and daring adventure. With the presence of danger often looming for Coyote, each story reminds the reader that animals rule the wild places of this planet, and if we respect them from a safe distance, even the most frightening creatures are more likely to be afraid of us than we should ever be of them. Exciting animal stories for kids of all ages: This collection of short stories aims to give the reader a first-person perspective into some of Coyote’s most harrowing and heartwarming adventures.
