Download or read book Frontier Naturalist written by Russell M. Lawson and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story of discovery and discoverers in what was the northern frontier region of Mexico in the years before the Mexican War. In 1826, when the story begins, the region was claimed by both Mexico and the United States. Neither country knew much about the lands crossed by such rivers as the Guadalupe, Brazos, Nueces, Trinity, and Rio Grande. Jean Louis Berlandier, a French naturalist, was part of a team sent out by the Mexican Boundary Commission to explore the area. His role was to collect specimens of flora and fauna and to record detailed observations of the landscapes and peoples through which the exploring party traveled. His observations, including sketches and paintings of plants, landmarks, and American Indians, were the first compendium of scientific observations of the region to be collected and eventually published. Here, historian Russell Lawson tells the story of this multinational expedition, using Berlandier's copious records as a way of conveying his view of the natural environment. Lawson's narrative allows us to peer over Berlandier's shoulder as he traveled and recorded his experiences. Berlandier and Lawson show us an America that no longer exists.

Book excerpt: In The Weight of Snow, author B. L. Bruce explores the many plights of the human species, from the mysteries of the heart and the inescapability of death, to the depths of human emotion. Told from the perspective of a poetic naturalist, Bruce shares her appreciation of the wild, illuminating the profound in the mundane while chronicling the natural world as both an observer and as an irrefutable part of it. Her poems focus strongly on image and locality, conjuring the imaginations of readers and celebrating the beauty in the follies of the human condition and its capacity to grip the soul.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Naturalist in Mexico: Being a Visit to Cuba, Northern Yucatan, and Mexico In presenting this little volume to the public, a word or two in explanation of the circumstances which gave it birth may not be deemed inappropriate. The author had originally intended making a little pamphlet covering some of the more interesting experiences of the Mexican Expedition. It has been thought, however, that the important nature of the expedition and the linking together of narrative, science, and history (a combination not often attempted by authors) were circumstances sufficient to justify its publication in a more pretentious form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Southern Mexico: Being an Account of the Travels of a Naturalist This narrative is based upon two journeys through Southern Mexico during the months of June to September of the years 1902 and 1904. Eight months - most of them spent in roaming about, off the few tourist-tracks, through some rather wild and little-known districts, from the regions of snow down to the sweltering, tropical lowlands - afforded more than hasty impressions of this wonderful country. I have tried to present to the reader the ups and downs, the enjoyments and the drawbacks, just as they happened. We, my wife and I, have no blood-curdling adventures to relate, and yet some of the incidents might have turned into such - by a hair's breadth. As to personal safety, the actual conditions were tersely put to us only a few weeks ago: "You do not need any arms whilst travelling in Mexico, but when you do, you want them badly." The scientific purpose of these travels was the study of the distribution of animals and plants with reference to the prevailing environmental conditions. Some of the more technical results have been published in the Proceedings of the Royal, the Zoological, and the Linnean Societies of London. Care has been taken to mention the various creatures at the time and place that we observed them. The country swarms with life, and yet days may pass without a glimpse of anything worth relating, and the best finds are made when least expected. Full-coloured pictures of the life and scenes of a typical day's travel in the wilds, if we put them to the test, are liable to cause disappointment, since the majority of the exciting events (though each described without exaggeration) rarely happen in conjunction.
