Abstract
THOUGH written by an American professor of biology for American students, this book, which takes a rather different point of view in elementary biology teaching, is worthy of bringing to the notice of teachers of biology in other countries. As a book of reference the teacher should find it very useful, though as a book for students it would be rather disconcerting, since the subject-matter is so different from that used for most classes, at any rate in Great Britain. For example, the first type animal in the book is the grasshopper.
