Publisher's Synopsis
Aristotle's History of Animals: In Ten Books is a comprehensive work that delves into the natural history of animals. Written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle in the 4th century BCE, this book is a significant contribution to the field of zoology. The book is divided into ten books, each of which covers a different group of animals, including mammals, birds, fish, and insects. In this book, Aristotle provides detailed descriptions of the physical features, behavior, and habitat of various animals. He also discusses the similarities and differences between different species and explores the concept of animal classification. The book is written in a systematic and scientific manner, with Aristotle relying on his own observations and those of other naturalists of his time. He also incorporates the beliefs and theories of ancient Greek philosophy into his work, making it a unique and fascinating read. Despite being written over two thousand years ago, Aristotle's History of Animals remains a valuable resource for modern-day biologists and zoologists. It offers a glimpse into the early history of animal studies and provides a foundation for the development of modern scientific thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
