Experimental Researches - John Murray - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk
John Murray, a writer on many different scientific topics, published this collection of essays, on what might be called the physics of biology, in 1826. His studies cover glow-worms, the luminosity of the sea, the strength and lightness of spider webs, the chameleon's colour changes, and 'the torpidity of the tortoise'.
