Download or read book Natures Stories For Young Readers written by Florence Bass and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enter into the wonderful world of insects and animals with lovely stories!♥♥♥ The stories aim to give illustrations of some of the varied means of self-protection employed by animals, their methods of home-building and of caring for their young, the transformations they undergo, the adaptability to their surroundings as shown by their coverings, and the tools with which the various animals are provided. These lessons attempt to present natural science to the youngest readers who are from the ages of 4+. Some of the lessons are easy enough for the first reader pupils, while others are better adapted to children of a higher grade. The forces of nature are personified and each object of nature studied is placed in its proper relation to its environment, thus making a story that is enjoyable not only to small children but to those "grown-up." From the book: "...Children, did you ever think how much your mothers do for you? They give you good things to eat, clothes to wear, and help to make a pleasant home for you. Let us look at some of the very "little people" about us. See how these little mothers take care of their little ones. Here is a picture of a little mother..." "...Do you see me? See my four beautiful wings! See my big bright eyes! Some little children call me a snake feeder. That is not my name. I have nothing to do with snakes. I am a Dragon Fly. I am a dragon to little insects..." This version is a reproduction of a valuable and classic book published in 1895 that from the collections of Standford University Libraries. Some of the reviews: "The Spirit of Observation is the best of Professors." "The child who is endowed with the spirit of observation learns for himself a multitude of things which forever escape minds that are indifferent and incapable of observing." "Properly presented, no lessons are so interesting and attractive to children as those which deal with living plants and animals; and none are more effective in the cultivation of habits of exact observation, accurate comparison, and sound reasoning." "It has been well said that teachers can in no better way train the perceptive faculties of the child than by teaching him to observe carefully the operations of Nature, but such observations should be intelligently guided under the direction of a skillful teacher. The French official program purposely insists on the very elementary character of the instruction given in the physical and natural sciences in the common school. The child at first studies those things that delight his senses, such as flowers and the pleasanter forms of vegetable life, animals, the most attractive minerals, and the most common forms of insect life."

Download or read book Mother Nature Is Trying to Kill You written by Dan Riskin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “fact-filled and amusing trek through nature’s dark side” (Kirkus Reviews) reveals the fascinating, weird, and often perverted ways that Mother Nature fends only for herself. It may be a wonderful world, but as Dan Riskin (host of the Animal Planet’s TV show Monsters Inside Me) explains, it’s also a dangerous, disturbing, and disgusting one. At every turn, it seems, living things are trying to eat us, poison us, use our bodies as their homes, or have us spread their eggs. In Mother Nature Is Trying to Kill You, Riskin is our tour guide through the natural world at its most gloriously ruthless. Using the seven deadly sins as a road map, Riskin offers dozens of jaw-dropping examples that illuminate how brutal nature can truly be. From slothful worms that hide in your body for up to thirty years to wrathful snails with poisonous harpoons that can kill you in less than five minutes to lustful ducks that have orgasms faster than you can blink, these fascinating accounts reveal the candid truth about “gentle” Mother Nature’s true colors. Riskin’s passion for the strange and his enthusiastic expertise bring Earth’s most fascinating fauna and flora into vivid focus. Through his adventures—which include sliding on his back through a thick soup of bat guano just to get face-to-face with a vampire bat, befriending a parasitic maggot that has taken root in his head, and coming to grips with having offspring of his own—Riskin makes unexpected discoveries not just about the world all around us but also about the ways this brutal world has shaped us as humans and what our responsibilities are to this terrible, wonderful planet we call home.

Download or read book Pandemic Ecology and Theology written by Alexander Hampton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the sequential stages of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic have unfolded, so have its complexities. What initially presented as a health emergency, has revealed itself to be a phenomenon of many facets. It has demonstrated human creativity, the oft neglected presence of nature, and the resilience of communities. Equally, it has exposed deep social inequities, conceptual inadequacies, and structural deficiencies about the way we organize our civilization and our knowledge. As the situation continues to advance, the question is whether the crisis will be grasped as an opportunity to address the deep structural, ecological and social challenges that we brought with us into the second decade of the new millennium. This volume addresses the collective sense that the pandemic is more than a problem to manage our way out of. Rather, it is a moment to consider our broken relationship with the natural world, and our alienation from a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. The contributors, though differing in their diagnoses and recommendations, share the belief that this moment, with its transformative possibility, not be forfeit. Equally, they share the conviction that the chief ground of any such reorientation ineluctably involves our collective engagement with both ecology and theology.
