About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Living Animals of the World, Volume 1: Mammals by Various. Read in English by Larry Wilson; Jackie Graves; tommack; FraserP; Logan Lorenz; Shashank Jakhmola; Julian Pratley; Devorah Allen; Linda Cantoni; Amy Gramour; acousticwave; Steve Mayer; J. M.

Belle; Rowan Etzel; Kristine Bekere The Living Animals of the Natural World, subtitled "a popular Natural History", proposed to present the most updated version of the wonders of the Animal World in a new and clearer form. It used photography instead of the traditional illustrations of the life of beasts, birds, fishes, insects, corals, and the subjects photographed were obtained from every part of the world, many of them from the most distant islands of the Southern Ocean, the great barrier reef of Australia, the New Zealand hills, the Indian jungle, the South African veldt, and the rivers of British Columbia. But not only the illustrations were important, since the attention given to the descriptive portion of the work was also meticulous, and the Editor had the assistance of specialists, eminent alike in the world of science and practical discovery. The result is a very thorough picture of human knowledge of the animal world at the time of publication, in 1902. LibriVox volunteers wish to thank the volunteers of Distributed Proofreaders for their work over the last 20 years to convert public domain books into e-books. "The Living Animals of the World, Volume 1: Mammals" was PG's 60,000th title. Congratulations and Happy Anniversary Distributed Proofreaders! (Summary by Leni)
