Publisher's Synopsis
Aristotle's History of Animals: In Ten Books (1897) is a classic work of natural history written by the ancient Greek philosopher and scientist, Aristotle. The book is divided into ten volumes and covers a wide range of topics related to the animal kingdom, including their classification, behavior, anatomy, and reproduction. Aristotle's observations and descriptions of animals are based on his own firsthand observations as well as information gathered from other sources, such as hunters and fishermen. The book contains detailed descriptions of hundreds of different species of animals, from insects and fish to birds and mammals. One of the key themes of the book is Aristotle's belief that all living things are interconnected and that the study of animals can provide insights into the workings of the natural world as a whole. He also emphasizes the importance of careful observation and empirical evidence in understanding the natural world, a principle that has been influential in the development of modern science. Overall, Aristotle's History of Animals is a fascinating and comprehensive look at the animal kingdom from one of the greatest thinkers in human history. It remains an important work for scholars of natural history and philosophy, as well as anyone with an interest in the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
