Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secrets of Animal Life The aim of this book of short studies is to interest thoughtful readers in the multitudinous problems of animal life as they present themselves to the modern biologist. Some of them deal with old problems which have reasserted themselves in new guise; others deal with new problems which recent research has brought into prominence. Most of them are confessedly appreciations of, and reflections on, the investigations of other naturalists, and most of them were, to begin with, lectures to senior students of Natural History in this University. It need hardly be said that the subjects chosen are only representative, and that the light thrown on them tends rather to an appreciation than to a solution of the problems involved. Nature so often tells us one secret in terms of another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Animal Life To undertake the study of natural history successfully, enthusiastic interest is necessary, and to arouse such an interest may be considered one of the possible good offices of the volume. The young student who is confronted day after day with a frog, a crab, or a shell, and requested to note its peculiarities of structure as a first lesson, some times may assume that natural history is, after all, very dry and uninteresting, when, had he even a faint conception of the wonderful ways and habits of the animals, he would eagerly embrace the Opportunity for closer investigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World of Animal Life In this opening chapter we shall learn something about the Classification Of Animals; or, in other words, about the way in which animals are arranged by men of science. Now, perhaps you will think that this is a very dull and dry subject, and that it cannot be Of interest to those who know nothing about it. But in reality it is not dull at all. Indeed, it is almost as interesting to find out how different animals are related to one another, as it is to learn about their ways and habits; for in doing so we are led to examine their bodily frames, and to notice how wonderfully every part is suited to the life which the animals have to lead. Some of us may think that it cannot be necessary to know anything about this subject, and that anyone who is really fond of animals can study them quite well, without understanding their natural arrangement. But this, as we shall presently see, is a great mistake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marvels and Mysteries of Instinct, or Curiosities of Animal Life The subject of this volume first formed the topic of a public lecture, and the interest which its marvels and mysteries then awoke, subsequently induced the Author to fill up at his leisure the sketch he had framed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonders of Animal Ingenuity N the pleasant days when we have not long begun to look on a wonderful world peopled with beings great and small all living their busy lives after their own fashion, most of us are in some respects nearer to understanding the ways of the myriad creatures which share the earth with us than we have ever the good fortune to be in later years. Before a sparrow becomes for us only a sparrow, or we have been taught to associate the word horrid with a score of interesting and often beautiful little animals which we meet day by day, the things that happen in animal-land are not passed over with unseeing eyes; the earth is filled with romance, and we live in a true fairyland. From a few fortunate ones the spell is never lifted; for them its fascination grows stronger with time, andsthe story becomes constantly more engrossing, for it is one whose secret, though ever unfolding, can never be wholly revealed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Life and Intelligence However profoundly the laws of phenomena may be modified by such introduction of new and higher factors, the older and lower factors are still at work beneath the surface. And he who would adequately grasp the social problems of our time should bring to them a mind prepared by a study of the laws of organic life: for human beings, rational and moral though they may be, are still organisms and man can in no wise alter or annul those deep-lying facts which nature has throughout the ages been weaving into the tissue of life. Some parts of this work are necessarily more technical, and therefore more abstruse, than others. This is especially the case with Chapters V., and VI.; while, for those unacquainted with philosophical thought, perhaps the last chapter may present difficulties of a different order. With these exceptions, the book will not be beyond the ready comprehension of the general reader of average intelligence.

Download or read book Sketches of Animal Life and Habits Classic Reprint written by ANDREW. WILSON and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Animal Life and Habits The present series of Sketches has been compiled with the view of affording general readers, and especially the young, some popular and yet trustworthy ideas regarding some of the most interesting groups of the animal world. The work may in fact be regarded as a natural history text-book adapted for use in Nature's school at large, and as a guide to the use of the observant powers, through the due exer cise of which all true ideas of Nature are acquired. Some of the Sketches have already appeared in Chambers's Journal, and are reprinted here with some additions, and with such alterations as were found to be necessary in adapting them for volume-form. The papers lay no claim to originality; but the day of grave errors in popular scien tific works is not yet past, and the author would fain hope that the Sketches may at least be found to possess the merit of correctness. The highest purpose this little work may serve is, that of fostering a love for the personal and direct observation of Nature. Knowledge so acquired invariably brings its own reward in the power it confers of discerning higher aspects in all the workes of Nature.' And as a result of such studies, we may say with Wordsworth of the most commonplace object around. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
