In this book, one finds his records of the sea serpent, giant snakes, African unicorn, South America ape, and Ceylonese devil-bird, reflecting this early interest in romantic zoology, the precursor of cryptozoology.\" This new edition, complete with the original elegant illustrations, is part of Cosimo's Loren Coleman Presents series. LOREN COLEMAN is author of numerous books of cryptozoology, including BIGFOOT : The True Story of Apes in America, and Mothman and Other Curious Encounters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Henry Gosse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602060118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602060111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Philip Henry Gosse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44919984488703,"sku":"9781602060111","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e00cf24d-a101-43bd-9470-0e31fc69aeea.jpg?v=1710359901","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-romance-of-natural-history-philip-henry-gosse-9781602060111","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
