Download or read book The Probable Infinity of Nature and Life written by William Emerson Ritter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Probable Infinity of Nature and Life: Three Essays It is almost as much on account of the super-history furnished by these essays as on account of what is said in them that I am now publishing them. They were not written with any definite purpose Of publication. The ones on spontaneous generation and multiple causes were prepared as addresses for scientific societies. That on the infinity Of nature was written mainly to enable me to see where my biological development was tending as touching other domains Of knowledge. TO state more specifically why I now publish the essays essentially as they were written, I find on approaching the completion Of the Unity of the Orgamm, that I need the essays in print, partly as record and partly as super-record. What I am writing now in the larger work, I want to attach directly to what I wrote earlier about the origin of life and to do so without rewrit ing the Old essay and incorporating it as a section in the later book.

Download or read book Saving Tarboo Creek written by Scott Freeman and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Freeman family decided to transform a drainage ditch into a stream that could again nurture salmon, they knew the task would be formidable but the rewards plentiful. Saving Tarboo Creek artfully blends the story of the family's efforts with profound lessons about how we can live more constructive, fulfilling, and natural lives by engaging with the land rather than exploiting it. Based on the land ethic passionately promoted by Susan Leopold Freeman's grandfather, Aldo Leopold, in his influential book A Sand County Almanac, this timely tribute to our natural environment and the urgent need to protect it is destined to be another inspiring classic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Essays on the Wild Life Kellar is possessed of a mind of good natural endowment, and that upon her education treasures of devotion and of affection have been lavished, devotion which she has amply repaid with a high sense of duty, with effort, and with responsive affection. There seems to be something in her temperament, to this extent unusual, that it compels the love and devoted service of those around her. What has been done for her has been most emphatically a labor of love. Although deaf and dumb, and blind, she has, in spite of these adverse circumstances, - limitations which to all but one of her courage would have been crushing, she has achieved a splendid education, and has won the admiration and respect of everyone with whom she has come in contact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Order of Nature an Essay Many of the characteristics of inorganic nature, like the stability of the solar system and the en during movements oi the waters of the earth, are the very condition of existence for life as We know it and the source of diversity in organic evolution. This is perhaps one of the oldest interpretations of nature. But since Darwin's time the fitness of the environment has only occasionally aroused passing comment without ever entering the main current of scientific thought. And yet, whatever may be the final judgment of natural science upon either organic or inorganic harmonies, biological fitness is manifestly a mutual relationship. For, however present order may have developed out of past con fusion, the organism and the environment each fits and is fitted by the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roll of the Seasons: A Book of Nature Essays The natural year is a ring which can be said to begin and to end nowhere. The diarist is most likely to open his notes on the first of January, because that is the day on which his artificial year opens. As soon as the winter solstice is past we look for signs of waking on the part of flowers and more animate creatures, yet many of them begin their new round of life as soon as the hush of autumn has fallen. The time of the aconite's high summer is commonly called winter. Spring, according to the calendar, does not come till after the snowdrop has blossomed and set its seed. Summer isthe autumn of a very large part of the floral world and the winter of many spring insects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Life in Nature Classic Reprint written by James Hinton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in Nature It is just in this way we feel when we are relue tant to admit evidence which tends to demonstrate an identity between the organic world (that is, of plants and animals) and the rest of nature. When argu ments of this kind are suspected of a tendency to banish life from the world and interfere with the Creator's prerogative, it is surely forgotten that those forces and laws to which the phenomena of Vitality are thus referred, are to be judged of by their fruits, and not to be pronounced beforehand incapable of bearing them. To assume that we know what those laws and forces are, and are capable of doing, is arbitrarily to limit our own capacities. If the organic and the inorganic worlds in nature are two presenta tions to us of one thing, how much more penetrating and worthy may our knowledge become of both, each being interpreted to us by the other!

Download or read book Essays and Nature Studies written by W. J. C. Miller and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Nature Studies: With Lectures The essays and articles here presented to the reader repro sent for the most part the outcome of the thoughts and studies and observations of a busy man, made in the intervals of his severer labours. Their author was, in his active days, a mathe matician of repute, a profound scholar, a man of long experience in educational work, both by pen and voice, and a painstaking editor and registrar. The contents of the volume comprehend two classes or descriptions of literature, yet the dividing line is withal so fine that the two blend happily. There are in the first part of the volume some papers on the observation of Nature and kindred subjects, some of them reprinted from the pages of Nature Notes, and other journals, which are not inaptly termed Nature Studies. They have no pretence to be scientific articles, and are collected and printed here because it is believed that they present enough of observation of Nature and her ways, coupled with enough of good English and happily conveyed directions for the profitable employment of leisure time, to warrant their preservation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature There are new lands, new men, new thoughts. Let us demand our own works and laws and worship. Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order Of things has awakened in our minds, the order Of things can satisfy. Every man's condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put. He acts it as life, before he apprehends it as truth. In like manner, nature is already, in its forms and tendencies, describing its own design. Let us interrogate the great apparition, that shines so peacefully around us. Let us inquire, to what end is nature? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
