Best Book on Biology

On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection; Our Vanishing Wild Life: Its Extermination and Preservation; Explanation of Terms Used in Entomology; Zoonomia; Or the Laws of Organic Life Vol. I; The History of Insects is the Best Book on Biology.No being or species has been specifically created; instead all are engaged in a pitiless struggle for survival with extinction looming for those who are not suited for it. This is the central tenet of Darwins theory of natural selection which presented a profound challenge to conventional wisdom. The Origin of Species (1859) reveals the intricate mutual interdependencies between animal and plant life climate and physical environment and—by implication—within the human world. It is also a humanistic and inspirational picture of ecological interrelatedness.Such a warning is given in this book(Zoonomia; Or the Laws of Organic Life Vol. I) Our Vanishing Wild Life: Its Extermination and Preservation. Its stirring pages make me think of the big bells that rang in the watchtowers of medieval cities summoning the populace to arms to defend their homes liberty and happiness. Unquestionably the welfare and pleasure of our current generation as well as all future American generations are at risk in this conflict over protecting nature from the egotism stupidity or cruelty of those who would destroy it.This is the first time a single book (The History of Insects) has made an extensive endeavor to chronicle the entire fossil history of insects. The book covers the history of insect paleontology techniques for studying fossils taphonomic processes that led to their formation diagnostic characteristics of all extant and extinct insect orders significant fossils for each order and conclusions that can be made about past ecology and climates from the palaeoentomological record. There are many novel perspectives offered.
