This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Amphibians and the Reptiles Looking more carefully at the difference between the two directions of the new education we can see what each accomplishes. There is first an effort to train the original powers of the individual and make him self-active, quick at observation, and free in his thinking. Next, the new education endeavors, by the reading of books and the study of the wisdom of the race, to make the child or youth a participator in the results of experience of all mankind. These two movements may be made antagonistic by poor teaching. The book knowledge, containing as it does the precious lesson of human experience, may be so taught as to bring with it only dead rules of conduct, only dead scraps of information, and no stimulant to original thinking. Its contents may be memorized without being understood. On the other hand, the self-activity of the child may be stimulated at the expense of his social well-being - his originality may be cultivated at the expense of his rationality. If he is taught persistently to have his own way, to trust only his own senses. To cling to his own Opinions heedless of the experience of his fellows, he is pre paring for an unsuccessful, misanthropic career, and is likely enough to end his life in a madhouse. It is admitted that a too exclusive study of the knowledge found in books, the knowledge which is aggregated from the experience and thought of other people, may result in loading the mind of the pupil with material which he can not use to advantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Reptile Life The story of Reptile Life 1s largely the story of a people, if we may so use the word, whose glory has departed. Just as in the study of the human race we are able to follow the histories of nations, their rise, glorious zenith, and decadence; so with the Reptile folk we may trace a similar course Of evolution. The survivors of to - day are but a remnant; a feeble tribe, spurned and despised. 1. Time was when they were the domi nant forms of life upon the earth, so that we speak of the Age of Reptiles: for millions of years-from the Permian to the end of the Jurassic era - they held sway, but were at last outnumbered and overpowered by the present reigning type of animal life - the mammalia. But their defeat is without ignominy, since, as we shall show later, their conquerors are at the same time their descendants. Similarly, the Reptiles are the descendants of the race which they in turn displaced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Turtles, Snakes, Frogs and Other Reptiles and Amphibians of New England and the North Many of the animals mentioned in this book suffer from our prejudices far more than any other class. They are usually little known, but persecuted, feared, hated and ruthlessly destroyed wherever found. Foremost, the snakes: these timid, watchful, silent and most graceful beings are for the most part perfectly harmless. Liven the dangerous ones only use their terrible weapons in self-defence. Turtles and frogs are often regarded as if void of feeling and ruthlessly tortured. Toads and salamanders. Useful insect-destroyers, are truly homely to look at, but hiding under ground or beneath stones seem to try their best not to hurt our feelings.

Download or read book Amphibia and Reptiles Classic Reprint written by Hans Gadow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Amphibia and Reptiles The account of the Amphibia is more complete than that of the Reptilia. It was possible to diagnose practically all the recent genera; and this has been especially done in the Anura, in order to show how in an otherwise very homogeneous group almost any part of the body, internal or external, can be modified in kaleidoscopic variety. The same could not be done with the Reptilia. Their principal groups, - called sub-classes in the present work, in order to emphasise their taxonomic importance in comparison with the main groups of Birds and Mammals.

Download or read book Natural History Reptiles Classic Reprint written by Philip Henry Gosse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural History Reptiles In one respect in which Reptiles agree among themselves, they agree also with the Classes of Birds and Fishes; the reproduction of their spe cies is effected by means of eggs. For the most part these are encased in a calcareous covering, either hard and Shelly as in the Tortoises, Croco diles and some Saurians, or tough and leathery as in most of the Serpents: in the Amphibia, however, they are destitute of any covering. In a few in stances, the young are brought forth alive; but these are rather apparent than real exceptions to the general rule, the eggs in such cases being hatched in the body of the parent, or ruptured in the act of deposition. Our native smaller Lizard, Viper, and Slow-worm, afford familiar examples of this peculiarity. Reptiles do not in general ineu bate their eggs; but there is reason to believe that the Boas and Pythons are exceptions to this rule.

This capacity is mostly the result of the manner in which the circulation and aeration of their blood is effected.

Download or read book British Reptiles and Amphibians Classic Reprint written by A. Nicol Simpson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Reptiles and Amphibians This little volume, dealing with the British Reptiles and Amphibians, may well find a place in the Peeps at Nature Series. Britain has few representatives of these two classes of animals, but their fewness in number has enabled the author to deal with each species at some length; and, besides, we have the additional advantage of being able to illustrate all but two of the British species in colour. We are indebted to Miss Scrivener for the capabie way in which she has prepared the drawings from which the coloured plates have been prepared. The reader's attention is par ticularly directed to the series of photographic repro ductions on Plates III., VI., VII., X., and XL, which illustrate admirably the story of the development of the frog.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reptiles of the World: Tortoises and Turtles, Crocodilians, Lizards and Snakes of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres In the present work the author has aimed to give in a popular manner a general survey of the reptiles of the world. While the manner aims to be popular, and while the purpose has been to make the book inter esting reading, it is at the same time, the writer hopes, everywhere in accord with the latest results of the seien tific study of the subject; and he believes the special student may find scattered through the volume new information drawn from the author's long and syste matic observation of the various orders of reptiles, their habits, etc. - a course pursued both among the homes and haunts of these creatures in many parts of the world, and in the New York Zoological Park. The scope of the book prevents it from being, as a previous book by the same author was, primarily a volume in tended to be used for identification purposes: it is here designed to consider the class of reptiles as a whole and in a general way. But for purposes of identification the profuse illustrations cannot fail to be serviceable in a high degree.
