A landmark work in the field of zoology and biomechanics, How Animals Move presents a rigorous yet accessible scientific investigation into the mechanics of animal locomotion. Sir James Gray, a pioneering Cambridge zoologist, chronicles the extraordinary diversity of movement across the animal kingdom — from the undulations of fish and the crawling of worms to the flight of birds and the gait of mammals. Drawing on decades of experimental research, Gray illustrates the underlying physical principles that govern how muscles, skeletons, and nervous systems combine to produce motion. Written with clarity and authority, this classic Pelican title remains an essential and absorbing read for anyone curious about the physical science of life.
