Beschreibung

In this book, originally published in 1953, zoologist Sir James Gray explores the development of different kinds of animal movement, from swimming to crawling to jumping, and then examines the mechanics of the variety of possible movements made by different creatures. The text is amply illustrated by both illustrations and photographs, and is aimed primarily at a younger audience. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in zoology and the physics and biology of motion.

Über den Autor

James (Jim) got his inspiration to write by telling stories with his grandchildren. He is a U. S. Army veteran and a retired Baptist Minister. His short stories are inspired by his growing up, years in the Ozarks, plus his life as a Father, Grandfather and Baptist Minster.
