Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wonders of Marine Life: With Ninety-Five Illustrations
Everywhere the eye turns throughout the universe it finds food for overwhelming amazement at the wonders of the natural world. Whether it is the stars which burn over our heads as they roll in their vast orbits the earth beneath our feet, which is the grave of countless numbers and races of extinct Creatures, from those tiny as a pin's head to monsters terrible in their Size and ferocity; or the seemingly vast waste of the ocean, which is yet the home of a most varied and prodigious life, thought is equally dazzled by the multitude of interests offered to its study. No fairy legend or romance is so interesting as the genuine marvels which science has slowly unfolded to the knowledge of man, spe cially so during the last hundred years, during which time science has made its most remarkable advances.
