ISBN: 9780679723257 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) An amoral young tramp. A beautiful, sullen woman with an inconvenient husband. A problem that has only one grisly solution--a solution that only creates other problems that no one can ever solve.

Animal Species and Their Evolution
ISBN: 9780691600789 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Long before Charles Darwin undertook his first voyage, animal taxonomists had begun the scientific classification of animals, plants, and minerals. In the mid-1950s, taxonomist A. J. Cain summarized the state of knowledge about the structure of the living world in his major book Animal Species and Their Evolution. His work remains remarkably current today. Here Cain explains each of the terms by which scientists now classify all animals--from species through genus, family, order, class, and phylum. The work of the modern taxonomist is dependent on the work of paleontologists,...
