[publisher: D. Appleton and Company, New York] Hardcover Hardcover. This introduction to the science of living things is the work of Arabella Burton Buckley (1840-1929), who at the age of twenty-four started her eleven-year tenure as secretary to influential geologist Charles Lyell and who after his death became a science educator in her own right, lecturing, editing such prominent scientific treatises as Mary Somerville's Connexion of the Physical Sciences (1877) and Heinrich Leutemann's Animals from Life (1887), and writing imaginative introductory science books like this one. Buckley's signature educational style used fanciful metaphors and a whimsical writing style with the aim of evoking a sense of wonder at the marvels science reveals to the curious observer of nature. Buckley was a close friend of Darwin's, meeting through her employer and mentor Charles Lyell, who was crucial in bringing Darwin's theories to publication, and her understanding of the deeper meaning of evolution was many years ahead of the popularized concept.
