Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor marks on right and tail foredges, otherwise in near fine condition.

In this classic of biology and modern science, Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson (1860-1948), one of the most distinguished scientists of the modern era, sets forth his seminal theory of transformation - that one species evolves into another not by successive minor changes in individual body parts but by large-scale transformations involving the body as a whole.

The esteem in which this monumental, lavishly illustrated work is universally held derives not only from its scholarship and creativity but also from the rich literary style that exemplifies Thompson's great erudition in the physical and natural sciences, ancient and modern languages and the humanities.
