    In this book, originally published in 1953, zoologist Sir James Gray explores the development of different kinds of animal movement, from swimming to crawling to jumping, and then examines the mechanics of the variety of possible movements made by different creatures. The text is amply illustrated by both illustrations and photographs, and is aimed primarily at a younger audience. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in zoology and the physics and biology of motion.
