Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quod Correspondence, Vol. 1: Or the Attorney To explain the irregularity in the commence ment of the 'attorney, ' it may be necessary to mention that the whole of the following pages first made their appearance in The New York Knickerbocker Magazine, ' in monthly numbers, each containing several chapters. At first these numbers were prefaced by a note from Mr. Quod to the editor of that Magazine, containing the letters of several of the many correspondents who had sprung up about him, as soon as it be came known that he had a whole haunted house to himself. By degrees, as he states in the conclusion to his story, his correspondents became too numer ous for him to trespass further upon the pages of the periodical, with their letters and his re plies; and at this time he left off prefacing the numbers, ' and devoted himself exclusively to his story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vailima Letters, Vol. 1 of 2: Being Correspondence Addressed by Robert Louis Stevenson to Sidney Colvin, November, 1890-October 1894 So much of preface seems necessary to this volume as may justify its publication and explain its origin. The writer was for many years my closest friend. It was in the summer of 1873 that a lady, whose gracious influence has helped to shape and encourage more than one distinguished career, first awakened my interest in him and drew us together. He was at that time a lad of twenty-two, with his powers not yet set nor his way of life determined. But to know him was to recognize at once that here was a young genius of Whom great things might be expected. A slender, boyish presence, with a graceful, some what fantastic bearing, and a singular power and attraction in the eyes and smile, were the signs that first impressed you; and the impression was quickly confirmed.

This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Linnæan Society of New York, Vol. 1 This book is a verbatim reprint of the first and second instal ments of my work upon The Vertebrates of the Adirondack Region, Northeastern New York, which was published in Vols. I and II of the Transactions of the Linnaean Society of New York. Pages 9 - 107 (comprising the first instalment) appeared in Vol. I, separates issued in October, 1882. The paging is unchanged. Pages 108 - 312 (comprising the second instalment and concluding the mammalia) appeared in Vol. II, which was issued in August, 1884. The paging has here been altered 'to conform to that of the first instalment, of which it is a direct continuation. Most of the biographies were written during or previous to the year 1882, and were read at different times before the Linnaean Society of New York. Pages 107 - 240 received supplemental matter at the time of going to press, the additional material having been acquired after the biographies had been read before the Society. Pages 240 - 312 were not so augmented, excepting in the article on the Muskrat, for the reason that this portion of the work had already exceeded its intended limits. Since the first instalment was issued much additional matter per taining to the species there treated has been gathered; and even while the second instalment has been passing through the press many facts of importance have come into the author's possession.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From North America, Vol. 1 of 2: Written During a Tour in the United States and Canada On my return home, I found that my letters had been preserved and collected, in order to be copied, if I should give permission. On look ing them over, I was induced to believe, that those on the subject of emigration, contained some particulars which might be useful at that time. When so many persons were leaving their country to seek subsistence in the Western wilds; and under this impression, I sent three or four letters to a respectable periodical publication, in which they were in setted-and, agreeably to my express injune tion, without my name.

Download or read book Darwin Inspired Learning written by Carolyn J. Boulter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Darwin has been extensively analysed and written about as a scientist, Victorian, father and husband. However, this is the first book to present a carefully thought out pedagogical approach to learning that is centered on Darwin’s life and scientific practice. The ways in which Darwin developed his scientific ideas, and their far reaching effects, continue to challenge and provoke contemporary teachers and learners, inspiring them to consider both how scientists work and how individual humans ‘read nature’. Darwin-inspired learning, as proposed in this international collection of essays, is an enquiry-based pedagogy, that takes the professional practice of Charles Darwin as its source. Without seeking to idealise the man, Darwin-inspired learning places importance on: • active learning • hands-on enquiry • critical thinking • creativity • argumentation • interdisciplinarity. In an increasingly urbanised world, first-hand observations of living plants and animals are becoming rarer. Indeed, some commentators suggest that such encounters are under threat and children are living in a time of ‘nature-deficit’. Darwin-inspired learning, with its focus on close observation and hands-on enquiry, seeks to re-engage children and young people with the living world through critical and creative thinking modeled on Darwin’s life and science.

Download or read book Courbet and the Modern Landscape written by and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its fittingly dramatic design, Courbet and the Modern Landscape accompanies the first major museum exhibition specifically to address Gustave Courbet's extraordinary achievement in landscape painting. Many of these carefully selected works produced from 1855 to 1876--gathered from Asia, Europe, and North America--will be new to readers. The catalogue--which accompanies an exhibition at the Getty Museum to be held from February 21 to May 14, 2006--highlights the artist's expressive responses to the natural environment. Essays by the curators examine Courbet's distinctly modern practice of landscape painting. Mary Morton's essay situates his landscapes in relation to his work in other genres, his critical reputation, and his role in establishing a new pictorial language for landscape painting. Charlotte Eyerman's essay investigates how later generations of nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists responded to Courbet's example. The catalogue also includes an essay by Dominique de Font-Reaulx, curator of photographs at the Musee d'Orsay, on the relationship between Courbet's work and landscape photography of the 1850s and 1860s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides case studies and general views of the main processes involved in the ecosystem shifts occurring in the high mountains and analyses the implications for nature conservation. Case studies from the Pyrenees are preponderant, with a comprehensive set of mountain ranges surrounded by highly populated lowland areas also being considered. The introductory and closing chapters will summarise the main challenges that nature conservation may face in mountain areas under the environmental shifting conditions. Further chapters put forward approaches from environmental geography, functional ecology, biogeography, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Organisms from microbes to large carnivores, and ecosystems from lakes to forest will be considered. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to researchers in mountain ecosystems, students and nature professionals. This book is open access under a CC BY license.
