‎The Doubleday Pictorial Library of Nature: Earth, Plants, Animals

by James Fisher (Editor), Sir Julian Huxley (Editor)

The Doubleday Pictorial Library of Nature is the second volume of a library of knowledge for the family. It is the story of our planet Earth and the life upon it. Beginning logically with the Earth as a part of the universe, it describes the seas and crust of the Earth and how they came to be what they are. It tells how the plants and animals living on the Earth changed and evolved through the ages; how they work, behave, inherit, and are distributed through the seas and over the land. It explores he dedicate balance of living things that make up the web of life. Finally, it describes man's place in nature: how he arose as part of nature, and, in the end, came to dominate it.

A pleasant though outdated book.
