The Structure Of Wing Feathers (1905)

""The Structure of Wing Feathers"" is a scientific book written by Ernst Mascha and published in 1905. The book provides a detailed description of the anatomy and structure of wing feathers in birds. Mascha discusses the different types of feathers, their functions, and how they contribute to the bird's ability to fly. He also explores the microscopic features of feathers, such as the barbs, barbules, and hooks that allow them to interlock and create a strong, flexible surface. The book includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in the understanding of the complex structure of wing feathers. ""The Structure of Wing Feathers"" is a valuable resource for ornithologists, biologists, and anyone interested in the science of flight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
