Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"A Text-Book of Economic Zoology" is a comprehensive and systematic exploration of the practical applications of zoological science. Written by Z.P. Metcalf, this foundational work examines the complex relationships between the animal kingdom and human economic interests, focusing on how various species influence agriculture, industry, and public health. The text provides detailed insights into both beneficial and harmful organisms, covering essential topics such as entomology, parasitology, and the ecological roles of birds and mammals.Designed as an instructional resource for students and practitioners, the book bridges the gap between theoretical biology and real-world application. It offers clear classifications and practical discussions on pest management, animal husbandry, and the conservation of species that provide value to human society. By detailing the life histories and economic impacts of diverse fauna, "A Text-Book of Economic Zoology" serves as a significant historical reference for the development of applied zoology.
