Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Illustrated Natural History of the World The author is sensible of the honour conferred upon him in being requested to write a volume to replace the late Rev. J. G. Wood's "Popular Natural History." Public estimation of that work was marked by the many editions and the various shapes in which it made its appearance from time to time. A growing taste for Natural History, no less than the necessity to utilize the great additions to modern zoological knowledge, render excuse unnecessary for the present volume. It is as comprehensive as a compact form will permit; and a scientific classification has been adopted without overloading the subject-matter with intricate technicalities. Of the twenty-four coloured plates, nineteen are by Mr. W. S. Berridge, F.Z.S., and five by Mr. William Foster. The numerous illustrations in the text are in all cases photographs direct from Nature by Mr. Berridge, except the seven figures on pages509-12 and those otherwise acknowledged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Natural History: Birds The fuller and more technical description of the Birds runs as follows. They are vertebrate animals, but do not suckle their young, nourishing them in most instances with food which has been partially macerated in their own digestive organs, and which they are able to disgorge at will, after a manner somewhat similar to that of the ruminating quadrupeds. The young are not produced in an actively animated state, but inclosed in the egg, from which they do not emerge until they have been warmed into independent life by the effects of constant warmth. Generally, the eggs are hatched by means of the natural warmth which proceeds from the mother bird but in some instances, such as that of the tallegalla of Australia, the eggs are placed in a vast heap of dead leaves and grass, and developed by means of the heat which is exhaled from decaying vegetable substances, and which is generated to such an extent that in some cases, such as a wet haystack, it actually sets the seething mass on fire. Urged by alike instinct, our common English snake deposits its eggs in secret spots, such as dunghills and hotbeds, and there leaves them to be hatched by the constantly generated warmth. An analogous process has long been in vogue among the Egyptians for the hatching of young poultry by artificial heat, and has been, in comparatively recent years, introduced into this country. When the egg is first produced, the future chicken is merely indicated by a little germ-spot, barely the size of a single oat-grain, and does not attain the power of breathing atmospheric air, and receiving nourishment into its mouth, until a period of many days has elapsed. To watch the gradual development of the young chick is a most interesting experiment, and one which is full of suggestive instruction. There is but little difficulty in the matter, even in the very earliest stages of incubation, for the structure of the egg is so wonderfully balanced, that in order to view the little germ-spot it is only necessary to lay the egg on its side and remove a portion of the shell, when the germ will be seen lying immediately under the aperture. In whatever way an egg may be turned, the germ-spot invariably presents itself at the highest point, provided only that the egg be laid on its side, and that the living principle has not been extinguished, for life, however undeveloped, seems always to aspire. As the chick increases in size, the manipulation becomes easier, but it is always better to immerse the egg in water or other transparent liquid before removing the shell, and to keep it submerged during examination.

Book Synopsis Kong, Godzilla and the Living Earth by : Allen A. Debus
Download or read book Kong, Godzilla and the Living Earth written by Allen A. Debus and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 2010s, science fiction's immortal adversaries King Kong and Godzilla, representing our conflicts per Carl Sagan's "dream dragons" analogy, made comebacks in American cinema. The blockbuster Kaiju resurged onto the screen, depicting these protectors of an Earth plagued by mankind's hubris and folly. With Earth's future hanging in the balance, their climactic 2021 staging settled a score between the two giant monsters, resolving Toho's classic 1963 film King Kong vs. Godzilla. As formidable creatures emerging from Time's Tomb on Mother Earth, metaphorical Kong and Godzilla are considered here in light of new millennial environmentalism's stark reality. This book, nostalgic in tone, explores the meaning of Kong and Godzilla as planetary saviors--titanic protectors of a theoretical "living Earth" Gaia--defending the globe from a prehistoric plague of adversaries.
