Download or read book Curious Creatures in Zoology (Classic Reprint) written by John Ashton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curious Creatures in Zoology is an examination of the world's most interesting creatures, both real and fantastical and is the work of author John Ashton. The book opens with a brief introduction in which the author lays out his purpose for writing the book and the methodology used in doing so. This is not a work of science, but rather a collection of accounts of the world's most curious creatures as they have appeared in writings by various authors throughout history. The opening chapters of the book examine humans and human-like creatures, including early men, wild men, and so-called "hairy men." The author also includes sections on giants and pygmies. From there, Ashton transitions to more mythical creatures, including centaurs, unicorns, and lamias. Throughout the book, which includes sections on more than 100 creatures, the author sprinkles in descriptions of real animals, including dolphins, scorpions, ants, whales, hornets, to name but a few, however more space is definitely devoted to the more fantastical creatures however. While John Ashton is listed as the author of Curious Creatures in Zoology, much of the writing in this collection is actually done by other authors and are included in Ashton's book as quotations. The subject matter is treated with an air of seriousness, which may seem perplexing for the modern reader but is a clear indicator of the time period in which this book was written. The entries themselves are all quite interesting, and will appeal to anybody interested in mythological creatures. The book is also an excellent case study into man's understanding of the world around him, and the developments we have made in our knowledge of the animal kingdom. Curious Creatures in Zoology is an entertaining read, perhaps even more so for the serious treatment it provides to what are now commonly known to be fictional creatures. Ashton's book is recommended to anybody curious about the animal kingdom, both real and fantastic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curious Creatures in Zoology by John Ashton. Let us commence our researches into curious Zoology with the noblest of created beings, Man; and, if we may believe Darwin, he must have gone through many phases, and gradual mutations, before he arrived at his present proud position of Master and Conqueror of the World.This philosopher does not assign a high place in the animal creation to proud man's protogenitor, and we ought almost to feel thankful to him for not going further back. He begins with man as an Ascidian, which is the lowest form of anything of a vertebrate character, with which we are acquainted; and he says thus, in his “Descent of Man”:— Includes: AMAZONS PYGMIES GIANTS EARLY MEN WILD MEN HAIRY MEN THE OURAN OUTAN SATYRS THE SPHYNX APES ANIMAL LORE THE MANTICORA THE LAMIA THE CENTAUR THE GORGON THE UNICORN THE RHINOCEROS THE GULO THE BEAR THE FOX THE WOLF WERE-WOLVES THE ANTELOPE THE HORSE THE MIMICK DOG THE CAT THE LION THE LEONTOPHONUS—PEGASUS—CROCOTTA THE LEUCROCOTTA—THE EALE—CATTLE FEEDING BACKWARDS ANIMAL MEDICINE THE SU THE LAMB-TREE THE CHIMÆRA THE HARPY AND SIREN THE BARNACLE GOOSE REMARKABLE EGG MOON WOMAN THE GRIFFIN THE PHŒNIX THE SWALLOW THE MARTLET, AND FOOTLESS BIRDS SNOW BIRDS THE SWAN THE ALLE, ALLE THE HOOPOE AND LAPWING THE OSTRICH THE HALCYON THE PELICAN THE TROCHILUS WOOLLY HENS TWO-HEADED WILD GEESE FOUR-FOOTED DUCK FISH MERMEN WHALES THE SEA-MOUSE THE SEA-HARE THE SEA-PIG THE WALRUS THE ZIPHIUS THE SAW FISH THE ORCA THE DOLPHIN THE NARWHAL THE SWAMFISCK THE SAHAB THE CIRCHOS THE REMORA THE DOG-FISH AND RAY THE SEA DRAGON THE STING RAY SENSES OF FISHES ZOOPHYTES SPONGES THE KRAKEN CRAYFISH AND CRABS THE SEA-SERPENT SERPENTS WORMES AND DRAGONS THE CROCODILE THE BASILISK AND COCKATRICE THE SALAMANDER THE TOAD THE LEECH THE SCORPION THE ANT THE BEE THE HORNET

Book excerpt: Darwin says that the men of the period wore tails, and if they were no longer than that in this illustration (which is copied from the same book), they can hardly be said to be unbecoming-still that is a matter for taste-they are certainly more graceful than if they had been rat-like, or like a greyhound, or toy terrier. Many old authors speak of tailed men in Borneo and Java, and not only were men so adorned, but women. Peter Martyr says that in a region called Inzaganin, there is a tailed race-these laboured under the difficulty of being unable to move them like animals-but as he observes, they were stiff like those of fishes and crocodiles-so much so, that when they wanted to sit down, they had to use seats with holes in them.

Download or read book The Modern Bestiary written by Joanna Bagniewska and published by Wildfire. This book was released on 2024-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the familiar to the improbable, the gross to the endearing, The Modern Bestiary is a compendium of curious creatures. It includes both animals that have made headlines and those you've probably never heard of, such as skin-eating caecilians, harp sponges, or zombie worms - also known as bone-eating snot flowers. Arranged by elements (Earth, Water, Air), The Modern Bestiary contains well-known species told from new, unexpected angles (rats that drive cars; fish that communicate by passing wind), as well as stranger and lesser-known creatures, including carnivorous mice that howl at the moon, cross-dressing cuttlefish, and antechinuses - small marsupials that literally mate themselves to death. Finally, there are the 'aliens on Earth' - the incredible, the surreal, the magical - such as tardigrades, tongue-eating lice and immortal jellyfish, creatures so astonishing that they make unicorns look rather commonplace. Written by a zoologist with a flair for storytelling, this is a fascinating celebration of the animal kingdom.
