San Francisco: Paul Elder, 1908. Near fine.. First printing of this hilarious book that draws comparisons between different plants and animals in rhyme, a product of the Nature Fakers controversy of the early 20th century. ANIMAL ANALOGUES was a continuation of an irreverent parody of the works criticized in the Nature Fakers controversy of the early 20th century, which contested the increasing sentimentality of books about nature for general audiences. Wood was himself a prominent physicist who pioneered working with ultraviolet light, and was more than happy to add some hilarious support to the words of his colleagues in the natural sciences. 7.75'' x 6''. Original cloth backed pictorial boards. Illustrated in black and white. [28] pages. Marginal sunning to boards. Sound.
