What reading level is The Individual; a Study of Life And Death book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It is not well known what is the range of insect vision or just how far it yields impressions like those we receive. But their vision is evidently very limited as compared THE GROWTH OF SYMPATHY 127 with that of the true lens eye. So, too, with hear- ing, though perhaps in a less degree. The verte- brate catches sounds that are farther away and probably of a wider range in scale; insects attend to few noises of any kind. It is doubtful if their hearing is much better than their sight. The only ...senses in which they apparently exceed the vertebrate are those of touch and of smell, Those species which possess long antennas appear gener- ally to be able to determine in a very quick man- ner the diiference between objects, even where the discrimination appears difficult, by a few passes of these sensitive feelers. In this way an ant seems to find whether another of his species is a member of his colony or no. It is in the sense of smell that we find the most evident advantage of the insects over the vertebrates.
