Paperback. Zustand: Good. Vintage Pelican First Edition. #A454. How Animals Move in the Pelican edition is James Grayâs lucid, engaging exploration of the mechanics behind animal locomotion, drawing on physiology, physics and careful observation to explain how creatures swim, crawl, walk and fly. Gray examines muscles, leverage, energy use and structural design across a wide range of species, showing how movement evolves to meet environmental demands. The result is an accessible, scientifically grounded study that reveals the elegant principles underlying the ways animals get from place to place. …
