Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leaves From a Naturalist's Notebook The present series of sketches has been compiled chiefly because of the existence of a growing taste on the part of the cultured public, for a knowledge of the objects in which the naturalist professes an interest. The papers, written under divers moods and circumstances, possess at least the merit of variety. I have not hesitated to include under the designation of a biologist's studies, such diverse topics as a diatribe against the unlawful practice of medicine, and a visit to the great emporium of Wild zoology in the East End of London. Similarly, I have regarded as interesting enough in a general sense, and have accordingly included in this volume two papers on the aids which Science is prepared to give to the legal Nemesis in the pursuit of the criminal. If the book may be found capable of imparting in some degree a taste for higher natural history studies; or if it may succeed even in profitably whiling away the tedium of a lengthy journey, or an hour wherein there is nothing to do.

This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles and Reveries of a Naturalist His little volume of Natural History sketches has very little to do with opinions or speculations. The aim of the writer has been to describe the facts and phenomena of Nature as they have appeared to present themselves to his own observation. They are life-pictures rather than compilations. So far as systematic arrangement is concerned, there has certainly been an effort to treat each subject taken up in such a way as to lay at least a stepping-stone on the path to a more serious contemplation of the sciences of the text-book and the laboratory, but the primary intention of the author has been rather to awaken or to stimulate a love for Nature in the minds of some who may not as yet have suspected what wondrous and ever-varying beauty lies everywhere about us in ditch and pond, in rock and stone, in river and sea, on earth and in the skies. The same objects have been described by other and abler pens, but facts and laws present them selves in different aspects to different minds, and the ceaseless and diversified operations of Nature cannot be too frequently portrayed. Even those who would not care to claim the character of students of Nature are not unwilling to be considered lovers of Nature, and for such the plain and non-technical descriptions of a few of her secrets, by those who tell the story of what they themselves have seen and felt in her presence, cannot fail to possess some degree of interest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Naturalist The parents of the mice to be discussed had been divided, at the commencement of life, into two lots, which were reared in separate rooms, differing widely in tem perature.' Prior to the time of the pairing, they had been exposed to these conditions for an average period of about six months. For reasons which I shall not here state, ' the two contrasted groups (warm and cold lots) were not transferred to a common room before pairing.5 Indeed, the females were not removed to such a room until the time that each was discovered to be pregnant. The discovery was made, on the average, about five days before the birth of the young, i. E about two weeks after the actual commencement of pregnancy. This circumstance is of possible importance in interpret ing the results obtained. On that subject, more anon.

In a historic vicinity in the Delaware river lies a small island. One would hardly deem this isolated spot a pleasant abiding place. Yet a small, white-washed, rough, stone dwelling, with shutterless windows, and destitute of porch or balcony, stands in the center of this island. A short distance from the dwelling there is a low, rambling wooden building, used for the accommodation of live-stock. A small vegeta ble patch, showing evidence of careful cultiva tion, occupies a portion of the contracted area. A few storm-beaten, yet still sturdy trees, and a rank growth of berry-vines, bushes and shrubbery constitute the physical attractions of this quiet solitude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Home of a Naturalist Somewhere in the mysterious space in the roof was stored for some years a collection of stuffed animals, the gifts of well-known naturalists. These creatures were periodically put out on the lawn to air; and a queer sensation they produced there. The domestic animals took flight, all except the dogs, which showed fight at first; but soon learned that the fierce, wild beasts had long since ceased to claw. Unfortunately, the small house, crowded with children and other live dependents, had but sorry accommodation for the stuffed beasts, which in course of time began to look mangy to a degree. At last, some wise person suggested that the collection was decidedly bad for people, and a bonfire was made of it. Armadillo, sloth, tiger, bear, and bison, surmounted by a boa constrictor - whose internal arrangement of arsenical soaped stuffing had been leaking all about the place for months - made a grand pyre, round which the dogs and haims bounced delightedly.

Although several of our most celebrated naturalists have climbed its lofty volcanic mountains, explored its lagoons and giant rivers, and traversed its immense forests, still, from the vast extent of that country and variety of climate - caused by difference of elevation - much yet remains to be done ere the public become thoroughly conversant with its arboreal and zoological productions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Playtime Naturalist The writer of this book has a liking for intelligent English lads, just as some people have for blue china and etchings. He ventures to think the former are even more interesting objects. And, as the writer was once a boy himself, and vividly remembers the never-to-be-forgotten rambles and Observations of the Objects in the country; and, moreover, as he treasures up such reminiscences as the most pleasant and innocent of an active man's life, he thought he could not do better than enlist this younger generation in the same loves and the same pleasures. He has endeavoured to do his best for his human hobbies, and hopes their lives may be richer and sweeter and more.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work of the Naturalist in the World Here can be no broader question, touching us all, than the influence of our profession upon the world. With your per mission I will present a series of considerations in regard to our professional careers which ought, in my opinion, to receive more attention than hitherto. I am aware that in doing this I depart very far from our custom, your previous presidents having each dealt with some broad but specific problem of natural history in their formal addresses. I must leave it to your judgment whether or not I have done wisely in not following, in the present address, the example of my distinguished predecessors. The object of the naturalist is to discover the truth about Nature, and to record his discoveries in a form which will render them available to others. Original research is the pivot of knowl edge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naturalist's Poetical Companion: With Notes The Study of Natural History is within the reach of every one; and he who is engaged in it is presented at every step in his progress, with something capable of awakening pleasing emotions. The whole earth is to him a vast Museum, in which are crowded beautiful and sublime objects, animate and inanimate, in an almost endless variety, all combining to amuse the understanding and gladden the heart. Nor is the study less useful than delightful. Common and indispensable as are on our tables, the wheaten loaf, the potatoe, and other vegetable substances, they were all once in appearance, only weeds among weeds; and it is by a discriminating attention to plants, that they have been brought to occupy so important a place in our domestic economy. From a similar examination of the productions of the earth, the physician has extracted from their secret channels those correcting juices, which remove or alleviate the diseases incident to the human body, restoring it to the freshness and vigour of health.

Download or read book Field Notes on Science and Nature written by Michael R. Canfield and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-09 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once in a great while, as the New York Times noted recently, a naturalist writes a book that changes the way people look at the living world. John James Audubon’s Birds of America, published in 1838, was one. Roger Tory Peterson’s 1934 Field Guide to the Birds was another. How does such insight into nature develop? Pioneering a new niche in the study of plants and animals in their native habitat, Field Notes on Science and Nature allows readers to peer over the shoulders and into the notebooks of a dozen eminent field workers, to study firsthand their observational methods, materials, and fleeting impressions. What did George Schaller note when studying the lions of the Serengeti? What lists did Kenn Kaufman keep during his 1973 “big year”? How does Piotr Naskrecki use relational databases and electronic field notes? In what way is Bernd Heinrich’s approach “truly Thoreauvian,” in E. O. Wilson’s view? Recording observations in the field is an indispensable scientific skill, but researchers are not generally willing to share their personal records with others. Here, for the first time, are reproductions of actual pages from notebooks. And in essays abounding with fascinating anecdotes, the authors reflect on the contexts in which the notes were taken. Covering disciplines as diverse as ornithology, entomology, ecology, paleontology, anthropology, botany, and animal behavior, Field Notes offers specific examples that professional naturalists can emulate to fine-tune their own field methods, along with practical advice that amateur naturalists and students can use to document their adventures.
