Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animals of North America The most natural supposition is, that the all-wise Creator placed each species where it was permanently destined to live; and that from these different centres of creation, combinations have so multiplied between contiguous regions, as to form the various races of animal life. When we find a country possessing a group or groups of animals not found elsewhere; we may at once set down that as being the centre of a peculiar creation. In the location of many species, nature has placed various limits, and the spaces occupied by them are most unequal. For example: the Kangaroo and Ornithorhyncus are confined to New Holland; the Grizzly Bear to the Rocky Mountains; the Dodo, now extinct, to the Mauritius; whilst the Swallow, the Crow, and the Fox, extend to every known region. The principal cause of limitation is doubtless connected with the unequal tem perature. Of localities; certain species which thrive in one climate, perishing under the influence of another - also the nature of vegetation in one country, and the absence of it in another, - as in the Polar regions, - confining to the former the larger beasts of prey, dependent on herbivorous animals as their food, with the exception of, .in the latter, those that subsist on fish. The number of Species increase as we near the tropics, and there it is where Nature has been most lavish in the diversity of life, beauty of color, strangeness of form, and greatness of proportion. The present total number of living Species which has been satisfactorily made out and ascertained, exceeds, according to Agassiz.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preservation of the Wild Animals of North America The National and Congressional movement for the preservation of the Sequoia in California represents a growth of intelligent sentiment. It is the same kind of sentiment which must be aroused, and aroused in time, to bring about Government legislation if we are to preserve our native ani mals. That which principally appeals to us in the Sequoia is its antiquity as a race, and the fact that California is its last refuge.

As a rule, not only do we know them better, but they are likely to be more impressive and interesting than their small associates. Just as today the larger animals give us our clearest impressions of the difier ences between the animals of different parts of the earth, so do they mark most plainly the distinctions between the life of the present and that of the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Natural History, Vol. 1: A Foundation of Useful Knowledge of the Higher Animals of North America The views entertained by the author and publisher as they were represented by the first edition of the American Natural His tory have been materially strengthened by the lapse of time. In 1904 we believed that the time was ripe for the publication of a work which, while scientifically accurate, would convey much prac tical information, and be read through for entertainment before being placed upon the shelf for reference. The highest compliment that the author ever received regarding the original volume was the assurance from a young lady that she had read every page of it, from cover to cover. During the past ten years, the conditions affecting the wild life of North America have swiftly changed. The total amount of scientific facts that have been accumulated by the technologists, and stored up for future reference, is enormous. Scientific spe cialization has become such an educational mania that the old fashioned all - round naturalists now are few and lonesome. At the same time, however, the need for the dissemination of prae tical every-day knowledge regarding our mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes never was so great as now. The wholesale destruction of bird life, with the enormously increased cost of living that has come as a natural and inexorable result, renders it highly necessary that people generally should have a chance to recognize their friends and their enemies in the animal world. To-day there are millions of American producers and consumers who do not know their best friends, and who think, for example, that a quail is val nable only as so many ounces of edible meat for the table.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Natural History: A Foundation of Useful Knowledge of the Higher Animals of North America The foregoing is for the eyes of adult readers. Argument is not necessary to con vince young people that a mighty host of interesting things awaits every one who sets foot in the field of Nature. To - day, the all-absorbing question is - how can Nature be made available to the young? This book is one of my two answers to that question; and it is particularly addressed to teachers and parents. It is intended to be a plain, practical, common - sense answer, presented in a systematic and scientific way. The author assumes that fifteen years of earnest thought, and conferences with scores of teachers on the subject of natural history teaching in American public schools, may fairly entitle him to a hearing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Guide: North American Wild Animals One really cannot go out with this book, as with the birds and owers, and make a study of the animals, as so few of them are to be seen, especially during the day. If we consult any Dictionary or Encyclopedia we find, generally, the name and brief description, with possibly a small illustration in black, of some European species which is very misleading. These colored illustrations are all of North Amer ican wild animals and we hope will aid in the identification to those who are looking for help along this line. Chas. K, reed.
