Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Histories of Familiar Plants In the chapter on Sensitive Plants many of the principles of the mnemic theory, and the inheritance of acquired characters, promulgated by Dr. Francis Darwin in his Presidential address to the British Association on September zud, 1908, are, apparently, largely implied; although at the time the address was delivered the book was being printed. Regarding the illustrations, the publishers have spared no expense; all are printed from blocks prepared especially for this volume. If this book serve to encourage Nature lovers to pursue their investigations into her secrets on their own account, and help to direct them to that end, and if at the same time (by means or the numerous illustrations) it bring to the town dweller a breath of the country, its author's Object will have been attained.

This book was released on 2017-05-28 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ferns (Filicales) Treated Comparatively With a View to Their Natural Classification, Vol. 1: Analytical Examination of the Criteria of Comparison Little do ye know your own blessedness; for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour. R. L. Stevenson, Essay on El Dorado. IN this passage Stevenson enunciates a truth that applies with singular force to those who enter on morphological enquiry. To travel hopefully is the chosen pursuit of all who study large groups of organisms with a view to reducing them to order, so as to throw light on their origin and evolution. In such quests no one need expect under present conditions to arrive at the final destination of complete and assured knowledge. If any one should indulge this hope his disappointment is certain. Even if he did so arrive, and found himself able fully to demonstrate the whole truth, how greatly would the quest lose in its interest. It is in the pursuit of his El Dorado of evolutionary history, not in the arrival there, that the true blessedness of the morphologist lies. It behoves then those who travel on this journey not to hurry unduly, but to consider with critical care the manner of their journeying, rather than to seek short cuts to an elusive goal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flashlights on Nature: A Popular Account of the Life Histories of Some Familiar Insects, Birds, Plants, Etc We often talk metaphorically of vegetating: the aphis vegetates. Indeed, aphides are as sluggish in their habits and manners as it is possible for a living and locomotive animal to be: they do not actually fasten for life to one point, like oysters or barnacles; but they are born on a soft shoot of some particular plant they stick their sucking-tube into it as soon as they emerge; they anchor them selves on the spot for an indefinite period; and they only move on to a new claim when Sheer want of food or force majeure compels them. The winged members are an exception: flay are founders of new colonies, and are now on their way to some undiscovered Tasmania.

Download or read book First Studies of Plant Life Classic Reprint written by George Francis Atkinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Studies of Plant Life is written with a truly heart-warming purpose. Written by a distinguished academic but pitched at a level which is designed to allow a teacher to captivate a child in the earliest years of school. Atkinson takes the view that reasoning and 'why?' questions are suitable and appropriate for even the tiniest children and should not be held in reserve for a later date. It centres on an understanding of the 'life history' of a plant rather than tedious and traditional encouragements to rote learn and exclude context. George Francis Atkinson tells us in a startling modern way that a child does not best learn about a flower by uprooting it, dissecting and classifying it. Rather they should plant a seed, find out how it germinates, watch it grow, learn about its food, see how it breathes, reproduces and ultimately dies back. For as the author states 'When the child has once become acquainted with the conditions and necessities of plant life, how different will the world seem to him.' The book begins and progresses in an intuitive way. It begins with the particular characteristics of seeds and their peculiarities and progresses all the way on to the root systems, the changing colours of the leaves on trees and the bright momentary flowers and bids by plants for pollination and reproduction. Small engaging experiments suitable for independent learners, homeschooling or teachers in a classroom are outlined and encouraged, further tying the book to an inclusive ethos of hands on learning. A child could hardly fail to fall in love with botany when taught from this book but an adult has scarcely more opportunity to avoid being enthralled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Plant Life As a result of the present efforts to raise the standard of education in this country, many different Methods of Teaching are receiving our grave consideration. So insistent are their advocates, that we stand in some danger of forgetting that learning. Rather than teaching, is the essential factor in education. It is not the know ledge given us ready-made by the teacher, but that which we learn, acquiring it by our own efforts, which enters into our being and becomes a lasting possession. Therefore this little book does not pretend so much to teach as to act as a guide along the road for those who desire to learn something about the plants around them; hence it points out how much they can easily see for themselves of the wonderful life and work of the silent plants. It is planned for children, whose quick sympathies are more readily drawn towards the life of things than to the dry facts of morphology or classification. Its Leitmotif is therefore the story of life, and those of its activities which find expression in the plant world. Perhaps it may serve to awaken interest in some older people who have not yet been initiated into these mysteries. As is inevitable, most of the actual facts in this book are already the common property of botanists, though some of the suggested work, such as the mapping, is only now being adopted by the Universities.
