Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. This scarce 19th Century Textbook: Appleton's Science Text-Books - Elements of Zoology by Charles Frederick Holder is an introductory science text aimed at students. The book provides a broad, structured overview of the animal kingdom, explaining how animals are classified, how they function, and how they interact with their environments. Holder presents zoology as an accessible science, blending observation, classification, and natural history. It begins with fundamental biological principles—such as the definition of life, cell structure, and basic physiology—then progresses through major animal groups in a roughly evolutionary order. These include simple organisms (protozoa), invertebrates (like insects and mollusks), and vertebrates (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). Throughout the text, Holder emphasizes: Comparative anatomy (how animal structures differ and relate); Adaptation to environment; Behavior and survival strategies; The relationships between species. The writing reflects the scientific understanding of its era, with strong attention to morphology (form and structure) and classification systems, often illustrated with examples from North American wildlife.
