Excerpt from Elements of Biology: A Practical Text-Book Correlating Botany, Zoölogy, and Human PhysiologyThe plan of this book recognizes first-year biology as a science founded upon certain underlying and basic principles. These principles underlie not only biology, but also organized society. The culmination of such an elementary course is avowedly the understanding of man, and the principles which hold together such a course should be chiefly physiological. The functions of all living things, plant or animal, movement, irritability, nutrition, respiration, excretion, and reproduction; the interrelation of plants and animals and their economic relations, all these as they relate to man should enter into a course in elementary biology.But to make plain these physiological processes, difficult even for an advanced student of biology to comprehend, the simplest method of demonstration is necessary. Plant physiology, because of the ease with which simple demonstrations can be made, is more profitable ground for beginners than is the physiology of animals. The foods which animals use are manufactured and used by green plants; the action of the digestive enzymes, the principle of osmosis, and the subject of reproduction can better be first handled from the botanical aspect. The topics just mentioned introduced from the standpoint of the botanist gain much by repetition from the zoological angle. The principles of physiology, after being applied in experiment to plants and animals, emerge in final clarity when applied at the last to man, - the most complex of all living things.One of the most important factors in successful science teaching is repetition. In a recent address President Remsen of Johns Hopkins University said: -"The most important defect in the teaching of chemistry to-day is the absence of repetition. There are too many fleeting impressions. We cover too much ground. The student gets only a veneer."

A delightfully illustrated book that depicts the true story of "The Best Friend", the first steam locomotive built in America for service on a railroad. The merchants of Charleston, South Carolina in the 1820's had a problem: cotton planters were shipping their crops to Savannah, Georgia, and business in town was bad. The businessmen seized upon a bold plan to bring commerce their way when they decided to build a 140 mile railroad track from Augusta to Charleston: a plan made more daring by the fact that no steam locomotive had ever traveled so great a distance. They ordered a steam locomotive from New York and named it "The Best Friend." Their new friend only brought new found trade and prosperity, but ushered in the era of the railroad age

Excerpt from The Way to Avoid the Centre of Our Violent GalesThe dangers to a vessel in a Cyclone are three. The veering of the wind; the exces sive violence of it near the centre; and the sudden calms and shifts and awful sea at the centre. All these involve, as on well know, damage and loss by dismasting, straining, leaks, and distress of various kinds up to foundering; and you will find in the present Chapter ample rules to show you that if involved in a Cyclone, even with a fair wind, you should often heave to, not to approach the centre, or with a foul one that you should, if the weather possibly admits of It, stand back: that if you have to heave to, on will, if you take the right tack, have both the veerings of the wind, and the shift 0 it such, that you will always come up to it, and run no risk of being taken aback; while it hove to on the wrong one, you will certainly have the wind heading you off, and in all probability be taken aback if it shifts. Of the dangers in all these cases every seaman is aware, as for instance that of getting stern-way in a hurricane; and it is one, and not the least of the practical a plications of our Science, that there is scarw yet a case on record, in all the 10 s that ve been examined, where ships which have sufl'ered in a Cyclone might not ve escaped with far less lo if they could not have avoided the Cyclone, or perhaps without any, by due attention our rules; and we can pretty nearly demonstrate also, that many which have foundered must have done so from utter ignor ance of the danger they were running into!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
