About the author

Walter M. Coleman, also known as Walter Moore Coleman, was an American educator and author whose books focused on school science, especially physiology, hygiene, and zoology. Sources available for this page connect him with Texas and with a body of instructional writing aimed at students and classrooms.

He is best known today through works such as Beginners' Zoology, The Elements of Physiology for Schools, and Lessons in Hygienic Physiology. These titles suggest a writer interested in explaining living things and health in a direct, useful way for younger readers.

Reliable biographical detail appears limited in the sources I could confirm, so this overview stays close to the record that is clearly available: he was a science-minded teacher and textbook author whose books were designed to support practical education.
