Sinopsis

''The Geographic Distribution of Animals and Plants in North America'' is a comprehensive study of the distribution of animal and plant species throughout North America. Written by Clinton Hart Merriam and first published in 1895, this book is considered a seminal work in the field of biogeography. Merriam was a prominent American naturalist and founder of the National Park Service, and this book draws on his extensive research and fieldwork to provide a detailed analysis of the factors that influence the distribution of species across the continent. The book is divided into two main sections: one on animals and one on plants. Each section includes detailed descriptions of the distribution and habitat preferences of various species, as well as discussions of the geological and climatic factors that shape these patterns. Merriam also explores the historical and evolutionary factors that have influenced the distribution of species over time. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the natural history of North America, as well as for scientists studying biogeography and ecology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
