    The Shelf2Life Nature Studies Collection is a grouping of pre-1923 monographs focusing on the natural world and environment. Ranging from landscape surveys and field guides of flora and fauna to scientific studies of botany, biology and the environment, the collection provides a unique glimpse into the 19th and 20th century history of the study of our natural world. Given the rapid nature of environmental change and our scientific understanding of it, these volumes are an opportunity to learn about the landscapes of the past as well as the evolution of scientific discovery. Filled with photographs, illustrations and maps, the Nature Studies Collection offers naturalists, hobbyists, historians, gardeners, birders and anyone interested in our natural environment a fresh glimpse into our understanding of the world around us, as well as our place within it.
  • Wild Animals I Have Known

    Ernest Thompson Seton

    eBook (, Jan. 29, 2020)
    Wild Animals I Have Known is an 1898 book by naturalist and author Ernest Thompson Seton. The first entry in a new genre of realistic wild-animal fiction, Seton's first collection of short stories quickly became one of the most popular books of its day. "Lobo the King of Currumpaw", the first story in the collection, was based upon Seton's experience hunting wolves in the southwestern United States. It became a classic, setting the tone for his future works that would similarly depict animals—especially predators who were often demonized in literature—as compassionate, individualistic beings.Several years after its publication, Seton and his works came under fire during the nature fakers controversy, which began in 1903 when naturalist John Burroughs published an essay called "Real and Sham Natural History" in The Atlantic Monthly. In particular Burroughs blamed Seton's collection of stories for founding the sentimental animal story genre, which he felt featured fabricated events and wild animal behaviors; he even amended the title of the collection to Wild Animals I Alone Have Known.
