Alfred Edmund Brehm
Het Leven der Dieren: Deel 3.8, De Stekelhuidigen, Plantdieren en Sponsen
"Het Leven der Dieren: Deel 3.8, De Stekelhuidigen, Plantdieren en Sponsen" by Brehm is a volume from a scientific reference work published in the 1860s-1870s. Part of the groundbreaking "Brehm's Animal Life" series, this Dutch translation covers echinoderms, plant-like animals, and sponges. The original German work became one of the first modern popular zoological treatises, featuring illustrations that Charles Darwin praised as the best he had ever seen. This encyclopedic volume brought scientific knowledge about marine invertebrates to educated readers across Europe.
