Animal Life
by B. Lindsay
Publisher: D. Appleton & co. 1909
ISBN/ASIN: B000859ROM
Number of pages: 196
Description:
If the microscope had never been invented, the Story of Animal Life, as it is related by modern science, could never have been told. It is to the microscope that we owe our knowledge of innumerable little animals that are too small to be seen by the unassisted eye; and it is to the microscope that we owe the most important part of our knowledge about the bodies of larger animals, about the way in which they are built up, and the uses of their different parts.
