About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company 1957, 2nd printing. (Hardcover) Very good plus in very good plus dust jacket. 227pp. Illustrations. There is a 1 / 2-inch chip to the top corner of the front panel of the dust jacket and a previous owner's stamp on the front free endpaper. "In a wide-ranging discussion which covers the whole spectrum of life from the one-celled paramecium to the giant mammals, Joseph Wood Krutch unfolds the richness and dignity of man's animal heritage; and without sacrificing the scrupulous research and deduction of the scientific method, he restores a sense of wonder and joy to man's contemplation of his world. This book is an exciting challenge to the tidy and cheerless 'laws of nature' as we now understand them". Illustrations by Paul Landacre. (Natural History, Darwinism, Natural History, Nature).
