Henderson, Caspar

A valuable addendum to musical and hard science collections. Readers who have wide interests and want new ways to understand the world about them will be absorbed. Public and academic libraries will appreciate the scope.

This reviewer found no comparable titles in terms of this book's scheme, approach, and format. This readable volume, tracing the history of science and philosophy in relation to each animal, will appeal to the serious reader with broad interests in science, mythology, folklore, and speculation on questions of the human condition.
