Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature Lovers' Treasury Many collections of Nature poetry have been made; among them two recent compilations by men eminently fitted to speak with authority. These volumes, edited by Bliss Carman and John Burroughs, are notable because they are selected from two different standpoints, that of a poet and that of a naturalist. There is a third point of view, which is that of the Lover of Nature who is neither poet nor naturalist, but who has, nevertheless. A keen appreciation of all the life giving forces which are to be found in Nature's realms. As the demands of civilization increase, there comes an urgent call to men who have grown weary in the struggle and turmoil of cities to seek refreshment and healing amid Nature's solitudes. It is a repetition of the old myth of Hercules and Antaeus. Whenever men are well-nigh worsted in life's conflict, let them but be brought in contact with mother earth and they shall go forth strengthened and heartened.

Download or read book Wild Nature s Ways Classic Reprint written by R. Kearton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Nature's Ways Job said, Speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee, and no man who has ever honestly taken this advice to heart is in a position to gainsay its truth. To learn to appreciate the beauties of the world in which we live is a great victory. It establishes within us a never-failing source of pleasure, and enhances the value of existence a thousandfold. I would not exchange the every day joys of a healthy observant ploughman for the worrying wealth and cares of a millionaire. The idea that to be rich in gold is to be happy is a dying, vulgar fallacy. Men are coming to know that there are greater possessions than those which can be measured by the surveyor's chain or locked in iron safes. A love of Nature is one of them, and it has the unspeakably good quality of endurance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Nature s Serial Story Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Edward Payson Roe and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature's Serial Story, Vol. 1 "I am getting very tired," said a hard brain-worker to me once. "Life is beginning to drag and lose its zest." This is an experience that can scarcely happen to one who has fallen in love with Nature, or become deeply interested in any of her almost infinite manifestations. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford of my story are not wholly the creations of fancy. The aged man sketched in the following pages was as truly interested in his garden and fruit-trees after he had passed his fourscore years as any enthusiastic horticulturist in his prime, and the invalid, whose memory dwells in my heart, found a solace in flowers which no words of mine have exaggerated. If this book tends to bring others into sympathy with Nature, one of its chief missions will be fulfilled. A love for the soil and all the pursuits of outdoor life is one of the most healthful signs in a people. Our broad and diversified land affords abundant opportunity for the gratification of every rural taste, and those who form such tastes will never complain that life is losing its zest. Other pleasures pall with time and are satiated. We outgrow them. But every spring is a new revelation, every summer a fresh, original chapter of experience, and every autumn a fruition of hopes as well as of seeds and buds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from All the Year Round: A Nature Reader All Winter long Mother Nature had sent her winds to rock the babies' cradles. Back and forth they had rocked, lulling the baby buds to sleep. Mother Nature did not want them to waken, for Jack Frost was king outside. She feared that her babies would freeze. In the fall she had tucked them up snugly and given them a warm coverlet to keep out the cold. So the baby buds had slept soundly all Winter. At last it was time to awaken. Mother Nature sent her March Winds to rouse the little buds. There was another king of the air. The beautiful golden sun was king now. Mother Nature knew that the new king loved the babies. He would help them to grow large and strong. She told this king where the children were, and asked him to waken them. So one bright morning, the king sends down his warm rays. They tap on the brown covers; they send the sap up into the buds. Soon Mother Nature hears calls from the cradles. She looks and finds that her babies are stirring. How glad she is!

And still they come - snowstorms of kittiwakes, the puffin With his gaudy wedding beak, the grunting razorbill, the snake-necked guillemot, the petrels and shearwaters, the cormorants back to the stench and swelter of their nests, and the hordes Of thieving gulls - herring, greater and lesser black-backed - to take toll of their eggs, the hawk of their lives, and the skua to claim tithes Of their fishing.

Download or read book Wild Nature written by Mrs. Brightwen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Nature: Won by Kindness In the following chapters I shall try to have quiet talks with my readers and tell them in a simple way about the many pleasant friendships I have had with animals, birds, and insects. I use the word friendships advisedly, because truly to know and enjoy the society Of a pet creature you must make it feel that you are, or wish to be, its friend, one to whom it can always look for food. Shelter, and solace it must be at ease and at home with you before its instincts and curious ways will be shown. Sometimes when friends have wished me to see their so-called pet, some scared animal or poor fluttering bird has been brought, for whom my deepest sympathy has been excited; and yet there may have been perhaps the kindest desire to make the creature happy, food provided in abun dance, and a pleasant home; but these alone will not avail. For lack of the quiet gentle treatment which is so'requisite, the poor little captive will possibly be miserable, pining for liberty, hating its prison, dreading the visits Of its jailor, and so harassed in its terror that in some cases the poor little heart is broken, and in a few hours death is the result.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Common Friends and Foes: A Nature Reader Because of its inherent appeal to the fancy, make-believe, and curiosity of children, the story affords a natural approach to the facts of nature, and furnishes an adequate stimulus for develop ing research ideals and habits. This use of the story was first suggested to the author by the interest children manifest in Peter Rabbit and stories of a similar character.

Should my wishes and hopes be realised by this little volume, it is possible, perhaps, that at some future time I may tell you of more of Nature's subjects, for instance, of those that are to be found on or near the sea-shore. In this volume I tell you of but a few of the "beasties' of the garden, hedgerow and coppice, those that are most known and easily seen. To write of all would mean many volumes.
