Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Life in the Sea and on the Land: A Zoology for Young People This book is offered to young people with the hope that it may help them in their studies of natural history. The pleasure of every ramble in the country or by the sea side is increased by an acquaintance with the animals and plants which are found by the way, and consequently these studies bring their own reward. It is far more charming to gain this knowledge from the objects themselves than from merely reading about them in books; and it is therefore hoped that each subject which is treated in these pages will be studied from Speci mens actually in hand, whenever it is possible to obtain them. The habit of collecting natural objects and curiosities is a helpful one; and if young students are careful to find out all they can about these objects, the collection Will in time represent an unexpected amount of positive knowl edge. The aim has been to make this little book accurate, and to bring it up to the present condition of science; at the same time scientific terms have been avoided when others could be substituted for them. Classification has not been made prominent, yet the arrangement of Nicholson has been adhered to throughout.

Download or read book The Land and Sea Mammals of Middle America and the West Indies Vol 4 Classic Reprint written by Daniel Giraud Elliot and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land and Sea Mammals of Middle America and the West Indies, Vol. 4 In my previous volume, the Synopsis of the Mammals of North America and the Adjacent Seas, the field covered was from the northern boundary of Mexico to and including the Arctic Ocean. The present work is supposed to contain all the Mammals of the remaining portion of the North American continent and the contiguous seas, from the northern boundary of Mexico to the Province of Cauca, South America, including the coast islands, as well as those of the Bahamas and the West Indies whose fauna is not completely related to that of South America. In the general treatment of the named forms the method adopted in the previous work has been slightly elaborated, and brief statements of the habits of the animals contained in the various families, and sometimes in the genera, have been given, together with the English name for each species or race, and keys for genera, subgenera, species, and races whenever these were sufficiently numerous to make such analytical tables desirable. For a very large number of the species and races it is well understood that no English names exist, and these had to be manufactured for the occasion, and are practically of little assistance for the recognition of the different animals; but Latin names appear to be distasteful to a small number of the laity, and only those in the vernacular are satisfactory, and it is to aid these that this departure from the previous plan has been made. Numerous named species of many genera of Mammals have so close a resemblance to each other, both in their outward covering and cranial characters, that often it is very difficult to distinguish one from the other, and for them Keys are probably less satisfactory as a means of determining the various forms than for any other class of animals; but it seems that there is a desire for such aids, which to many have become necessary, and therefore an effort has been made to meet this need, which it is hoped will serve the purpose intended. The illustrations throughout the volume comprise not only various representations of the cranium of some selected species of nearly every genus and subgenus, as in the Synopsis, but in addition a figure is given of some species either of a family or genus, or possibly both, as the peculiarities of the animals seemed to require for a better comprehension of their appearance in life. To those unfamiliar with the diversified forms of the many mammals dwelling within the limits embraced in this volume, these figures may be of assistance, and enable them more easily to recognize the animals whose descriptions are given in the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Life by the Sea-Shore This little book is intended to serve as a manual for the use of the amateur naturalist at the seaside, and the authors have aimed at brevity in their accounts of the various groups, in View of the class of readers for whom they are intended. Far from attempting anything in the way of an exhaustive or strictly scientific manual, they have only tried to provide those untrained in zoology with a means of identifying the principal of the innumerable forms of animal life which are likely to attract their attention when on the beach, or, better, on the rocks and beds of weeds uncovered by the great ebb tides which afford such grand opportunities in the western parts of the English Channel; and also of acquiring some notions concerning the often puzzling organs displayed by these creatures, their functions, as well as some of the most salient facts of their life-histories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animals of No Importance T is the Opinion of most people that during the voyage to and fro between England and India but little Opportunity of pursuing his favourite study presents itself to the natural ist. This is, in a sense, true. For when we consider the extent to which the ocean teems with animal life, when we reflect that every wave that breaks against the ship's side contains hundreds of living organisms, we cannot but wonder that we, from the deck of the ship, do not see more of the inhabitants of the sea. A little consideration, how ever, will clear up the mystery. Animals that live in the ocean fall into two classes - deep-sea creatures and organisms which dwell near the surface. The former class inhabit the cold waters of the lowest depths where the pressure is enormous, and where eternal darkness prevails. These animals never come to the sur face, so that the ordinary traveller cannot hope to see any of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Pastore traces how Narragansett Bay’s ecology shaped the contours of European habitation, trade, and resource use, and how littoral settlers in turn, over two centuries, transformed a marshy fractal of water and earth into a clearly defined coastline, which proved less able to absorb the blows of human initiative and natural variation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Little Foxes and Other Folks of Land and Sea Back through the narrow entrance they crept, into a large room where they could walk about with ease. It was perfectly dark, but they did not mind it, for their eyes were made so they could see better in the dark than in the light. This room was used for a store-room, when there was any food to store. Now it was quite empty Unless the mother should bring something home the little ones would go supperless to bed. Still farther beyond was another room, where the father was sleeping and where only a few weeks before the baby foxes were born.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Life in the Seas The story of the life of animals and plants in the sea is one with so many aspects, that it is difficult to choose the points that may be included, and those that may be omitted from a book in tended for the general reader. To some the story of the food Fishes and the Whales is of the greatest interest; to others the beautiful shapes and colours of shells have a predominating fasci nation; and to those who have devoted them selves to geological study, the history of the animals that contribute to the formation of the reefs and the ocean-bed present features of spe cial attraction. To many, then, the perusal of my book must lead to disappointment, as no one of these aspects has been treated adequately; but if some new interest is awakened, some new train of thought quickened into life, one of the objects I had in view will have been gained.

The story opens in 1858, when Tobias and Emma MacIvey arrive in the Florida wilderness with their son, Zech, to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that his wealth has not been worth the cost to the land.

In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market. Zech learns the ways of the land from the Seminoles, with whom his life becomes entwined as he grows into manhood. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series

Download or read book Transfer Between Sea and Land written by Simone Kahlow and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions about the cultural exchange of both knowledge and material goods are just as topical today as in years gone by. These questions have gained increasing attention from scholars since the 1980s when the term 'transfers cultures' by historians arose. However, this book provides a completely new approach in this context by interdisciplinary investigation of cultural exchanges based on chosen objects from shipwrecks and land, significant written documents and verifiable transfer of knowledge. The publication combines studies from humanities and natural sciences. Thus, historians, archaeologists, and pharmacists have investigated the way of transfer by means of material and immaterial goods, such as ship lists, medicine, metal ware, exotic animals and Asian objects as well as ship constructions. They set out, the continuity and discontinuity of cultural exchange based on moving objects depending on different conditions such as region, time, demand and availability. The innovative contributions of the publication aim to improve the understanding of cultural exchange by sea, as well as its reflection on land in the Early Modern Time and are the results of a workshop, which took place in the German Maritime Museum Bremerhaven, a Research Institute of the Leibniz Association, in 2015. The results show good promise for forthcoming investigations at the interface between History and Maritime Archaeology. The book targets graduate and post-graduate interdisciplinary researchers of archaeological, human, and natural sciences as well as everybody interested in both post-medieval and maritime history.
