Of late a revival of interest in Zoology is taking place, and this multi-volume work is an attempt to help the movement by pointing out the various lines of study and explaining in simple language the views of modern specialists. Every effort has been made to treat the subject-matter in such a way as to interest the general reader, while at the same time the needs of students, amateur naturalists, and teachers of Zoology (including Nature Study) have been borne in mind. All the larger popular books on Zoology take the various animal groups seriatim, a time-honoured plan which is in many ways valuable and useful. But this fails to bring out the complex inter-relations that exist between the different groups. A Due appreciation of the complexity of the struggle for existence, and a realization of our comparative ignorance reading the lifestyle of animals should open innumerable fascinating lines of scientific study of many amateurs who are at present mere collectors of insects, birds eggs, or shells. The unique multi-volume work fully covers every aspect, besides physical features of animal life : Food and feeding, homes and dwellings, courtship and breeding, care of eggs and young, foes and injuries, etc. Utilitarian Zoology and Philosophic Zoology have added a new dimension to this comprehensive study.

Humans have manipulated and changed the way of life of other mammals for thousands of years. This new edition of A Natural History of Domesticated Mammals explores the progress which has been made in understanding the origins of domestication and its spread, both biologically and culturally, across the world. The archaeological evidence for the earliest dating of domestication of each species is included, reflecting the recent expansion in such studies. Human history has been inexorably linked with the exploitation and often very cruel treatment of animals. In today's society attitudes to animal welfare have improved. It is now recognised that an understanding of the ecology and behavioural patterns of wild species is necessary in ensuring the well-being and correct husbandry of their domesticated descendants. This book provides up-to-date information on the natural history of all the mammals on which human societies have depended for their survival.

From termite mounds that in relative terms are three times as tall as a skyscraper, to the elaborate nests of social birds and the deadly traps of spiders, the constructions of the animal world can amaze and at times humble our own engineering and technology. But how do creatures with such small brains build these complex structures? What drives them to do it? Which skills are innate and which learned? Here, Mike Hansell looks at the extraordinary structures that animals build - whether homes, traps, or courtship displays - and reveals the biology behind their behaviour. He shows how small-brained animals achieve complex feats in a small-brained way, by repeating many simple actions and using highly evolved self-secreted materials. On the other hand, the building feats or tool use of large-brained animals, such as humans or chimps, require significantly more complex and costly behaviour. We look at wasp's nests, leaf-cutting ants, caddisflies and amoebae, and even the extraordinary bower bird, who seduces his mate with a decorated pile of twigs, baubles, feathers and berries. Hansell explores how animal structures evolved over time, how insect societies emerge, how animals can alter their wider habitat, and even whether some animals have an aesthetic sense.
