Download or read book Rambles and Reveries of a Naturalist Classic Reprint written by William Spiers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles and Reveries of a Naturalist His little volume of Natural History sketches has very little to do with opinions or speculations. The aim of the writer has been to describe the facts and phenomena of Nature as they have appeared to present themselves to his own observation. They are life-pictures rather than compilations. So far as systematic arrangement is concerned, there has certainly been an effort to treat each subject taken up in such a way as to lay at least a stepping-stone on the path to a more serious contemplation of the sciences of the text-book and the laboratory, but the primary intention of the author has been rather to awaken or to stimulate a love for Nature in the minds of some who may not as yet have suspected what wondrous and ever-varying beauty lies everywhere about us in ditch and pond, in rock and stone, in river and sea, on earth and in the skies. The same objects have been described by other and abler pens, but facts and laws present them selves in different aspects to different minds, and the ceaseless and diversified operations of Nature cannot be too frequently portrayed. Even those who would not care to claim the character of students of Nature are not unwilling to be considered lovers of Nature, and for such the plain and non-technical descriptions of a few of her secrets, by those who tell the story of what they themselves have seen and felt in her presence, cannot fail to possess some degree of interest.

Download or read book Nature Study Rambles Round St Andrews Classic Reprint written by John H. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Study Rambles, Round St. Andrews It has been my good fortune to have the opportunity of studying the Natural History of the district round my native city under conditions which could not but be conducive to the awakening of enthusiasm. To this has to be added the privilege I have very often enjoyed, of acting as an instructor of students and teachers in the course of explorations of this region. The principle animating those excursions has been the study of Nature rather than the pursuit of Science, - the acquisition of the explorer's comprehensive outlook rather than the specialist's concentration. I am not ignorant of the pleasure which indoor studies can afford, and the intense satisfaction which follows discovery as the reward of research in the laboratory; but for the great mass of those who wish to enjoy the refreshment and stimulus that come of intimate association with Nature, the excursion into the open is by far the most direct way to reach so desirable an object. In the absence of someone acquainted with the district to be explored, time may be lost and interest dulled by failure to find what one reasonably expects to see.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holiday Rambles, or Peeps Into the Book of Nature Oh' dear mamma, said George, springing into his mother's arms, how delighted I am to see you, and Agnes, and Helen, and all at my own dear home. After these mutual congratulations were ended, the boys found time to return the caresses of a beautiful Newfoundland dog, named Neptune. He was a great favourite, and expressed his delight by jumping upon his young masters, and rolling over and over a pretty little spaniel, called Rover, who was rather annoyed by the rough gambols of his companion. In due time, however, they quietly seated themselves to enjoy some refreshment after their journey, and to hear and relate what had happened during their absence. After luncheon, the children went out to visit the garden, and their numerous pets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles in Whittier Land Bryant was notedly able to come at the spirit of nature, insomuch as to be frequently, nay even commonly, spoken of as Nature's poet, and not many degrees behind him in this respect we meet with John G. Whittier, Poet of the Merrimack, and of the People. It is often said that his environments make the individ ual, but I do not think this can be true; but environments certainly do always act as a powerful agent in developing the innate and characteristic genius which nature has stamped upon each and every man of note.

Download or read book Natural History Rambles written by Mordecai Cubitt Cooke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural History Rambles: The Woodlands Caesar says, what the Britons call a town, is a tract of woody country, surrounded by a high bank and a ditch, for the security of themselves and cattle against the incursions of their enemies, and Strabo remarks that the forests of the Britons are their cities for when they have inclosed a very large circuit with felled trees, they build within it houses for them selves, and hovels for their cattle. Thus the early records of the Briton associate him with a love for trees and woods. Gradually, but continually, during the past thousand years, the original forests have diminished; partly to furnish timber for houses and ships, partly being en closed and brought under cultivation, but chiefly to meet the wants of a rapidly increasing population. On the other hand, fruit-trees, in orchards and gardens, large parks with ornamental trees, young plantations, and other forms of vegetation, having to a large extent replaced the forests, less disastrous consequences have followed their diminution than have resulted in many other countries, as for example in Spain, as well as some portions of France. Forests, which are distributed so universally over the surface of the globe, and are recklessly destroyed in newly-colonized countries, without regard to con sequences, have important functions to perform in the economy of nature. It is only in most recent times that man has awakened to the consciousness, that in the wholesale destruction of forests the entire aspect of a country is changed, equilibrium disturbed, and the advent of desolation threatened. The destruction of forests in the Island of Cyprus, in order to furnish its celebrated timber to the Romans, jews, and other nations, has reduced a paradise to a comparative wilderness 3 and the progress of similar destruction in India aroused the Government to adopt a complete system of forest conservancy in order to avert the threatened evil.

Download or read book Rambles on the Riviera Classic Reprint written by Eduard Strasburger and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles on the Riviera It is not the purpose of this second preface to make known the frame of mind in which I wrote, but rather to explain the alteration and expansion of the present volume. The reader will be immediately struck by the numerous botanical illustrations which have been introduced into the text. These, it is hoped, will be found a great assistance to the com prehension of the plants which are described. Many of those interested in these Rambles on the Riviera had expressed a wish that the volume should be thus illustrated. It is a matter of congratulation to me that Miss Louise Reusch has devoted herself to this task. She has travelled on the Riviera, and there, on the spot, she has painted from Nature the pictures for this book. The beauty of these paintings proves her to be an accomplished artist; they are not only artistic, but are absolutely true to Nature. To her brush are also due the appropriate vignettes which mark the main divisions of the book. It reflects much credit on the publisher that he was willing to go to such great expense for an undertaking with which he sym pathised; he has indeed placed me under a great obligation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles in Search of Shells, Land, and Freshwater The body of every mollusk with which we are con cerned, except those of the slug family, is contained in a membranous sac called the mantle, which not only serves as a model on which the shell is moulded, but is liberally provided at the edges of its open end with the glands that secrete the shelly matter. To this set of glands alone are due the coloured bands and other markings in the shells, as may be seen in the case of a fractured specimen that had been repaired by the owner; in this, the new matter thrown out of the mantle under the fracture is always colourless.
