Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Nature's Realm My days - Elysian days to me - afield or afloat, were followed by nights no less delightful, when, at my desk, I again lived my happy hours. My entertainment, therefore, has been two-fold, and so I am moved to hope that the satisfaction of the reader who turns these pages to the light will at least be single-fold. Here, however, a word of caution. No book concerning Nature is in any sense a mirror reflecting every detail. The many subtle charms the rambler recognizes, when under the bright blue sky, are not brought home with him. He cannot pierce with a pencil-point many an impression as you may pin a butterfly. Here, too, let me call attention to the danger of being so far off our guard that confusion arises from a multiplicity of objects; all of commanding interest.

Physiography means literally the description of Nature. In order to describe anything we must know something about it, and in order to know something about anything we must study it. Knowledge obtained by the best method of study is science, and it differs from know ledge otherwise obtained in being so clear and definite that every step leading to the final result may be recalled and tested, if any doubt Should arise as to its trustworthiness. Hence description based on science is clear and full, and this is the kind of description required in Physiography.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Log of the Sun: A Chronicle of Nature's Year Who follows the lines must expect to find moods as varying as the seasons; to face storm and night and cold, and all other delights of what wildness still remains to us upon the earth. Emphasis has been laid upon the weak points in our knowledge of things about us, and the principal desire of the author is to inspire enthusiasm in those whose eyes are just opening to the wild beauties of God's out-of - doors, to gather up and follow to the end some of these frayed out threads of mystery.

Download or read book Wild Nature s Ways Classic Reprint written by R. Kearton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Nature's Ways Job said, Speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee, and no man who has ever honestly taken this advice to heart is in a position to gainsay its truth. To learn to appreciate the beauties of the world in which we live is a great victory. It establishes within us a never-failing source of pleasure, and enhances the value of existence a thousandfold. I would not exchange the every day joys of a healthy observant ploughman for the worrying wealth and cares of a millionaire. The idea that to be rich in gold is to be happy is a dying, vulgar fallacy. Men are coming to know that there are greater possessions than those which can be measured by the surveyor's chain or locked in iron safes. A love of Nature is one of them, and it has the unspeakably good quality of endurance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
