Publisher's Synopsis
""On The Dependence Of Animal Motion On The Law Of Gravity"" is a scientific book written by Henry Wiglesworth and published in 1849. The book explores the relationship between animal motion and the law of gravity, which states that any two objects in the universe are attracted to each other with a force proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Wiglesworth examines the ways in which animals, particularly birds and insects, utilize the law of gravity in their movements. He also discusses the role of air resistance and other factors that may affect animal motion. The book includes detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts being presented.The book is considered a significant contribution to the study of animal locomotion and the laws of physics that govern it. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scientists and general readers interested in the subject. Overall, ""On The Dependence Of Animal Motion On The Law Of Gravity"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of biology and physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
