Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ocean Life The Sea, which is the least explored of Nature's realms, holds within it a wonderfully organized world, peculiar to itself. It abounds with a living flora and fauna, which, though obscure and strange, arc equally beautiful and useful. An endeavor has been made to exhibit in one group, representations of some of the most interesting submarine forms, occurring in southern latitudes, off the coasts of America; observing their forms, colors, and habits, so truthfully, that the plate shall prove of value to the lover of nature, and afford delight and instruction, to the intelligent mind and cultivated taste. Seventy-five species of the lower forms of vegetable and animal life arc shown of their natural size, and as they appear in their native element. The grouping may be considered, rather as an intellectual truth, than as a literal view. - It might be termed a mental oasis of the sea. - And it should be remembered that the floor of the ocean is not every where adorned with such forms of beauty. On the contrary, it has its seeming wastes of vast extent, as well as the dry land. But even in those apparent deserts, the plummet has revealed myriads of minute Diatomace .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shells and Sea-Life IT is well for young people to get acquainted with the crea tures which are living all around them. Birds and bees and squirrels are near neighbors to a great many of us, and they will prove good neighbors or bad neighbors, to a large degree, in accordance with our treatment of them. The same is true of many creatures that are not so well known as birds and bees. It may be necessary, at times, to restrict their numbers, and always to define the limits which they must not pass; and yet, how many people in this world live on bad terms with their neighbors, both brute and human, because they do not take the trouble to become acquainted with their good qualities. A warm, generous heart is a source of pleasure which can not be overestimated; and a narrow, cruel Spirit is a source of untold grief, not only to its possessor, but also to those with whom he comes in contact. The true teacher has a great mission. It is not merely to impart knowledge; far higher than that, it is to develop life, - life that is pure, truthful, honest, loving, and happy. For such a great work the teacher needs all possible aids. We seldom love that of which we have but slight knowledge. It is the aim of this book to assist the teacher in developing the interest of the pupils in a class of animals which is not so commonly studied or so well known as some other classes. If the interest can be awakened, good results are pretty sure to follow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonders of Marine Life: With Ninety-Five Illustrations Everywhere the eye turns throughout the universe it finds food for overwhelming amazement at the wonders of the natural world. Whether it is the stars which burn over our heads as they roll in their vast orbits the earth beneath our feet, which is the grave of countless numbers and races of extinct Creatures, from those tiny as a pin's head to monsters terrible in their Size and ferocity; or the seemingly vast waste of the ocean, which is yet the home of a most varied and prodigious life, thought is equally dazzled by the multitude of interests offered to its study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Life by the Sea-Shore This little book is intended to serve as a manual for the use of the amateur naturalist at the seaside, and the authors have aimed at brevity in their accounts of the various groups, in View of the class of readers for whom they are intended. Far from attempting anything in the way of an exhaustive or strictly scientific manual, they have only tried to provide those untrained in zoology with a means of identifying the principal of the innumerable forms of animal life which are likely to attract their attention when on the beach, or, better, on the rocks and beds of weeds uncovered by the great ebb tides which afford such grand opportunities in the western parts of the English Channel; and also of acquiring some notions concerning the often puzzling organs displayed by these creatures, their functions, as well as some of the most salient facts of their life-histories.

Download or read book The Sea Shore Classic Reprint written by W. S. Furneaux and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sea Shore To sea-side naturalists it must be a matter of great surprise that of the inhabitants of our coast towns and villages, and of the pleasure-seekers that swarm on various parts of the coast during the holiday season, so few take a real interest in the natural history of the shore. The tide flows and ebbs and the restless waves incessantly roll on the beach without arousing a thought as to the nature and cause of their movements. The beach itself teems with peculiar forms of life that are scarcely noticed except when they disturb the peace of the resting visitor. The charming vegetation of the tranquil rock-pool receives but a passing glance, and the little world of busy creatures that people it are scarcely observed; while the wonderful forms of life that inhabit the sheltered nooks of the rugged rocks between the tide-marks are almost entirely unknown except to the comparatively few students of Nature. So general is this apparent lack of interest in the things of the shore that he who delights in the study of littoral life and scenes but seldom meets with a kindred spirit while following his pursuits, even though the crowded beach of a popular resort be situated in the immediate neighbourhood of his hunting ground.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of Ocean Life, or Rock-Pools and the Lessons They Teach Nay, even the tremobling lark that mounts upwards as my shadow falls upon its nest among the clover, is not a more pleasant object to my eye, than the crustaceous hermit, who rushes within his borrowed dwelling at the sound of footsteps. In fact, the latter considerably more excites my kindly sym pathics, from its mysterious curse of helplessness. It cannot run from danger, but can only hide itself within its Shelly burden, and trust to chance for protection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Life in the Seas The story of the life of animals and plants in the sea is one with so many aspects, that it is difficult to choose the points that may be included, and those that may be omitted from a book in tended for the general reader. To some the story of the food Fishes and the Whales is of the greatest interest; to others the beautiful shapes and colours of shells have a predominating fasci nation; and to those who have devoted them selves to geological study, the history of the animals that contribute to the formation of the reefs and the ocean-bed present features of spe cial attraction. To many, then, the perusal of my book must lead to disappointment, as no one of these aspects has been treated adequately; but if some new interest is awakened, some new train of thought quickened into life, one of the objects I had in view will have been gained.
