Secrets Of Earth And Sea

Reproduction of the original: Secrets of Earth and Sea by Ray Lankester

Secrets of Earth and Sea is a collection of interesting facts about nature.

Dr. Lankester possesses a vagabond interest that makes his books always new and interesting. In "Secrets of Earth and Sea," for example, he goes from the caveman of ice-covered Europe to the eruptions of Mount Vesuvius; from an article on the world's biggest animal to a discussion of what is meant by a species. The color of water, the cross-breeding of animals, the nature and mining of coal, and the lives of the little "Wheel Animals" of our fresh-water ponds all claim his attention. And about all of them, he has something to say that is interesting to read, and worth knowing. The book is something of a sequel to the earlier volumes "Science from an Easy Chair" and "Diversions of a Naturalist." The essay articles that compose it have been published at various times in diverse British periodicals and newspapers and were re-written and enlarged for publication in book form. "Secrets of Earth and Sea" is modern, interesting, and reliable, and is easily the best thing in popular science that has appeared in several years.
