About this book

Modern Biology by Truman J. Moon, Paul B. Mann, and James H. Otto, published by Henry Holt and Company in 1956.

A substantial 757-page mid-century high-school biology textbook with an unusually attractive full-color pictorial cloth binding depicting pond life, including a turtle, insects, aquatic plants, and other organisms. Bibliographic records confirm the 1956 Moon/Mann/Otto edition and its 757-page length.

The 1956 edition also has historical interest in the study of American science education. Modern scholarship has specifically examined this edition and how it presented evolution, heredity, and related biological subjects during the 1950s.

Condition: Pictorial cloth remains colorful and attractive with light age-related rubbing, shelf wear, and minor edge/corner wear. Interior pages shown appear clean with normal age toning. No writing seen on the pages inspected. Binding appears sound.

Perfect for collectors of vintage science textbooks, mid-century educational material, biology history, and attractive pictorial cloth bindings.
