Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures of a Young Naturalist There is no country on the face of the earth that pos sesses greater interest in the eyes of the scientific or travelled than Mexico, the scene where the adventures so graphically and clearly narrated in this volume transpired nor is this partiality to be wondered at when we recall to memory what a lavish hand Nature has subtended to her. Although several of our most celebrated naturalists have climbed its lofty volcanic mountains, explored its lagoons and giant rivers, and traversed its immense forests, still, from the vast extent of that country and variety of climate - caused by difference of elevation - much yet remains to be done ere the public become thoroughly conversant with its arboreal and zoological productions.

Download or read book The Walks Abroad of Two Young Naturalists Classic Reprint written by Charles Beaugrand and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Walks Abroad of Two Young Naturalists Though the majority of mankind are firmly convinced that The proper study of mankind is man, yet they are also generally disposed to admit that some devia tion from the various beaten tracks of existence is advantageous. Not very long ago one of the most accomplished of our medical men, Sir James Paget, in Opening a session of the Working Men's College, delivered an address on Recreation. In eloquent words he declared this to be an absolute necessity for our system, and he laid stress on the great value, in this capacity, of hunting fishing, shooting, and even of games of chance. There is probably no change more recreative to the mind and body, fatigued by long continuance of daily routine, than natural history. In its pursuit, physical exertion in the fresh air vies with change of mental pabulum, and the wonderful variety of inexhaustible nature brings to the mind a feeling compounded of astonishment and satisfaction that is highly recreative. Unfortunately, few can undertake the pursuit of natural history without some kind of assistance. A certain amount of book-knowledge is found to be indispensable, and yet, to the mind not accustomed to them, preliminary definitions and statements about unfamiliar objects are apt to prove so dry as to smother the nascent interest instead of stimulating and encouraging it.

Download or read book Nature Stories for Young Readers written by Florence Bass and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Stories for Young Readers: Animal Life The subjects of this series of lessons are mainly such insects or other animals as the children may observe for themselves. The lessons 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. The purpose in attempting to bring these thoughts to the youngest readers is manifold. It is hoped that such readers may become interested, while children, in the abundant life about them, and that when this interest is gratified by learning of the wonderful lives and habits of these little people, a respect for all life may be inculcated.

This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Natural History for Young People Although the number of works on Natural History might deter any new writer from venturing on so extensively handled a subject, there is at present no work of a really popular character in which accuracy of information and system atic arrangement are united with brevity and simplicity of treatment. All the best-known popular works on Natural History are liable to many obice tions, among which may be named a want of correct classification, the absence of explanations of the meanings and derivations of scientific words, the strange inaccuracy of many of the accompanying illustrations, and of the accounts of many animals. Nor do the conventional anecdotes chronicled in their pages evince that personal experience of the animal race which alone can repress romance and prevent inaccuracy. These deficiencies, it is hoped, are at all events partly sup plied in the present work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harper's Book for Young Naturalists: A Guide to Collecting and Preparing Specimens, With Descriptions of the Life, Habits and Haunts of Birds, Insects, Plants, Etc Early every normal boy possesses an inborn desire to collect something. Whether this tendency finds expression in gathering butterflies, mineral specimens, birds' eggs, or other objects depends largely upon the boy's surroundings and opportunity. There is no question as to the value and interest of collections, if properly made, even of very ordinary things, but in the majority of cases the boys' collections are merely hodge-podge accumulations of trash, and worthless odds and ends gathered here, there, and everywhere Without definite object or reason. Such collections are worthless, and merely litter up a home, and prove a nuisance; and it is this class of collecting that has caused many parents to frown on collections of any kind. Stamps, coins, relics, and antiquities all have their proper place and value, but such things do not necessitate any knowledge of nature or her ways; nor do they take the col lector out into highways and byways, to woods and meadows, fields and glades, to seek his specimens. The collection of any class of objects that will get the boy out into the open and close to nature, should be encouraged and commended, and when such collections are made with any sort of system they cannot fail to be of educational value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naturalist on the River Amazons Having been urged to prepare a new edition of this work for a wider circle than that contemplated in the former one, I have thought it advisable to condense those portions which, treating of abstruse scientific questions, presuppose a larger amount of Natural History knowledge than an author has a right to expect of the general reader. The personal narrative has been left entire together with those descriptive details likely to interest all classes, young and old, relating to the great river itself, and the wonderful country through which it flows, - the luxuriant primaeval forests that clothe almost every part of it, the climate, productions, and inhabitants.
