    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

    Hardcover (Forgotten Books, March 8, 2018)
    Excerpt from Nature Study One Hundred Lessons About PlantsNature Study is new; Liebig was the first man who used a laboratory for instruction. He began his career as a teacher in 1824.Courses in mathematics and language have had centuries in which to perfect their methods of instruction and the lessons it is best to offer; for this reason, lessons in these subjects are good, if not the best, that can be offered, and the methods of giving them have had opportunity to eliminate errors. The teacher of nature study has almost no past to guide him. The older teach ers of nature study were not themselves taught in schools. As a department of instruction it is without traditions or precedents. Every serious teacher so far has had to pave his own road. All teachers have gone different roads. It could not be otherwise.The material with which nature study deals, is inexhaustible; no one can ever be acquainted with more than an insignificant frac tion of it. It is all good. It will always be the case that success ful teachers will give what they know. They will accordingly teach different things. It is probably true that every successful teacher has, from year to year, taken his pupils over different ground, and that everything done has proved to be good. What it is best to teach we cannot yet tell, in other words, than that that material is best which can be bad.This nature study work has passed through three phases. It was first taught from books. The only nature study work I ever did in school was in Geography and Physiology and every syllable of these came from books. We next added the laboratory. How new this phase of the subject is, may be learned from the presi dential address of Dr. Wiley before the Indiana Science Teachers' Association at Lafayette, in 1895. He says: Prior to 1863 no laboratory instruction was given in Indiana except a little in qualitative analysis.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

    This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ... 74. A section of a leaf. The lower side is spongy. After Gray. become fleshy. Examine the seeds of the blackberry and see if the separate seeds are not made on the plan of a cherry, a stone within and the fleshy part without. The cherry has no bloom on it when ripe as the apple has; it is the ripened pistil alone. This pistil leaf has greatly thickened; the outside which is the under side of the leaf has become fleshy and the inside which was the upper side of the leaf has become the hard stone. Exercise IV: Study walnuts, strawberries and pears from the first appearance of the flowers until they are fully formed and see what their several fleshy parts are. Try to learn what part of the stem or flower has become the edible portion of every fruit you eat. LESSON LI. THE LEAF. Leaves in the Role of Tendrils. 1 Figure 24 shows us a greenbriar leaf. Its stipules have abandoned the office of foliage leaves and are entirely given up to support; they appear as tendrils. Sometimes tendrils are modified branches. If they grow out from the wood so as not to strip off with the bark they are modified branches instead of leaves. Compare the distinctions between prickles and thorns, Lesson XLII. Exercise: Find out by this rule what tendrils are in grapevines. Figure 75 is a leaf of a gardenpea; notice that in this case the leaflets of its compound leaf are, several of them, converted into tendrils and that its stipules have grown to the size of leaves to discharge the duties of the green leaf, which the leaflets have laid down in order to support the plant. Examine the sweet pea plant carefully. It has given up its leaflets for tendrils also, but instead of enlarged stipules for leaf surface, it has expanded appendages along its stem; Figure 76. Fig. 75. A garden-pea le...

  • Camp Cats: The Girl Who Wouldn't Eat Mice

    Mr. Dennis Yowney, Mr. David Yowney

    Paperback (Yowney Fine Art Ink, April 17, 2013)
    For ages 10 and up. CAMP CATS: The Girl Who Wouldn’t Eat Mice is a fur-raising and humorous ghost story. The Head Chronicler Mouse, Knib, tells the story of Lacette, Princess of the Tigers, who did not eat him for dinner. Set in an enchanted forest near the creepy White Bone Lake, the beautiful Lacette Gordon attends Camp Cat. When the high-minded ten-year-old refuses to act like a conventional cat, she is transformed by an evil spell and sent off to rescue an injured, impossible to find, dark bird. Under the spell of the powerful Whistling Goddess, Lacette is cursed to meet friends and is forced to be social. How horrible. She will have to accept help from a troop of comic mangy marauders who have taken a liking to her despite her unsocial attitude and being a tiger. Two of the followers are mice and this cat refused to eat them too! Oh how unheard of! She slides into a lower world of warring ghostly birds and ghoulish cats. After her encounter with Thunder, a moody boy swamp-cat-prince, Princess Lacette's heart races for joy, but he is her enemy. He wants to kill the bird she must save. As self-reliant as this Princess thinks she is, her beliefs are quickly tested at a ghostly trial where she must defend the enemy and risk losing her new friend Thunder. In the mean time, her furry followers are in the blood covered claws of death... What will she do? Knib, Head Chronicler Mouse.
