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.

Download or read book Nature Stories for Young Readers written by Florence Bass and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Stories for Young Readers: Animal Life The subjects of this series of lessons are mainly such insects or other animals as the children may observe for themselves. The lessons aim to give illustrations of some of the varied means of self-protection employed by animals; their methods of home-building and of caring for their young; the transformations they undergo; the adaptability to their surroundings as shown by their coverings and the tools with which the various animals are provided. The purpose in attempting to bring these thoughts to the youngest readers is manifold. It is hoped that such readers may become interested, while children, in the abundant life about them, and that when this interest is gratified by learning of the wonderful lives and habits of these little people, a respect for all life may be inculcated.

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 The Haunters of the Silences: A Book of Animal Life Such stories, which offer in the form of fiction What my observations have compelled me to regard as fact, I have presented my case already, in the prefaces to The Watchers of the Trails and Red Fox. To those prefaces I would add nothing here; and from the conclusions therein stated I have nothing to retract. I would merely take this occasion to reaffirm with confidence the belief, which I find shared by practically all ob servers whose lives are passed in the closest re lationship with animals, by such vitally inter ested observers, for instance, as keepers, trainers, hunters, and trappers, that the actions of animals are governed not only by instinct, but also, in varying degree, by processes essentially.

But this sympathy came; men learned that justice is wider than the tribal limit, though it was still considered absurd to waste pity on Slaves. In time, even that became first a possible, then an accepted thing. The broadening sympathy which is, after all, the law of love, thus took in all Of mankind, and is following further along the lines drawn by the Great Hindu, who taught that in this broadest sympathy should be included the Whole Irving world.
