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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Life at Home: How to Study and Photograph It Since the publication of our last work - "With Nature and a Camera" - my brother and I have received numerous letters from naturalists and photographers throughout the country seeking information and assistance on all sorts of subjects connected with the art of portraying wild creatures in their native haunts. In order to meet this desire for knowledge, we have prepared such a manual as will, we honestly believe, enable every one of average intelligence and perseverance to go out into the fields with a camera and secure pictures equal to anything we have ourselves obtained; and no single item of our experience calculated to help the reader of this book in the attainment of his object has been withheld.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictures in Prose of Nature, Wild Sport, and Humble Life To My Earliest Teacher In Natural History My Mother The voice that led me at the first To follow Nature where she moved In lips of orchis lightly pursed, Or ripples that the swallow loved; In jewelled web, in glittered sky, In painted poppy princely raised, In flashings of the dragon-fly, Rings yet its music. God be praised. Then this, dear Lady (this that brings No reasoned lore, and erudite, Nor any deep imaginings, But only picture-touches - light As songs of summer tossed about From forest breath to forest breath - Of gentle peoples playing out The fateful round of life and death) This, Lady, on thy birthday take, And love a little shall achieve For all the gracious days that make The radiance of a golden eve.

Download or read book Reel Nature written by Gregg Mitman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have had a long-standing love affair with the wilderness. As cities grew and frontiers disappeared, film emerged to feed an insatiable curiosity about wildlife. The camera promised to bring us into contact with the animal world, undetected and unarmed. Yet the camera's penetration of this world has inevitably brought human artifice and technology into the picture as well. In the first major analysis of American nature films in the twentieth century, Gregg Mitman shows how our cultural values, scientific needs, and new technologies produced the images that have shaped our contemporary view of wildlife. Like the museum and the zoo, the nature film sought to recreate the experience of unspoiled nature while appealing to a popular audience, through a blend of scientific research and commercial promotion, education and entertainment, authenticity and artifice. Travelogue-expedition films, like Teddy Roosevelt's African safari, catered to upper- and middle-class patrons who were intrigued by the exotic and entertained by the thrill of big-game hunting and collecting. The proliferation of nature movies and television shows in the 1950s, such as Disney's True-Life Adventures and Marlin Perkins's Wild Kingdom, made nature familiar and accessible to America's baby-boom generation, fostering the environmental activism of the latter part of the twentieth century. Reel Nature reveals the shifting conventions of nature films and their enormous impact on our perceptions of, and politics about, the environment. Whether crafted to elicit thrills or to educate audiences about the real-life drama of threatened wildlife, nature films then and now reveal much about the yearnings of Americans to be both close to nature and yet distinctly apart.
Download or read book Photographing Wild Life Across the World Classic Reprint written by Cherry Kearton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Photographing Wild Life Across the World Big Game World. In particular does this apply to Africa, where animal life is disappearing at a rate that would astonish the most casual observer. Last year I travelled from Cape Colony right up into the Congo, and although I was on the look - out all the way, did not see half a dozen animals throughout a journey of hundreds of miles. Only a few years ago this experience would have been impossible. Then eland, oryx and many other specie s of game abounded but wanton destruction has worked such pitiful havoc in the ranks of these interesting creatures that the naturalist may make a journey from Cape Town to Kimberley without seeing a single specimen, and is reduced to the unsatisfactory expedient of gathering all the information he can from ancient carvings (the work of unknown bushmen) on some rocks near Kimberley, or stuffed specimens in Museums.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wilderness Ways Indeed, it is hardly necessary for genuine interest to give human traits to the beasts. Any animal is inter esting enough as an animal, and has character enough of his own, without borrowing anything from man - as one may easily find out by watching long enough. Most wild creatures have but small measure of gentleness in them, and that only by instinct and at short stated sea sons. Hence I have given both sides and both kinds, the shadows and lights, the savagery as well as the gentleness of the wilderness creatures. It were pleasanter, to be sure, especially when you have been deeply touched by some exquisite bit of animal devo tion, to let it go at that, and to carry with you henceforth an ideal creature.
