About This Item
Ewing, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Princeton University Press, 1993. Soft cover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 206pp w index. Photo illustrated wrap is clean and without wear. Binding square and not creased. Book appears unread. Reprint of the 1954 Hutchinson's University Library edition with a new afterword by the author. "Long before Charles Darwin understood his first voyage, animal taxonomists had begun the scientific classification of animals, plants and minerals. In the mid-1950s, taxonomist A.J. Cain summarized the state of knowledge about the structure of the living world in his major book Animal Species and Their Evolution. His work remains current today. Here Cain explains each of the terms by which scientists now classify all animals - from species through genus, family, order, class and phylum.
