Author’s NoteI travelled to Arizona to finish writing a book while I was closer to my children and found a surprisingly enchanting state that was created out of a desert, learning from and using ancient concepts combining with the new that burst the desert into life. It all started with a water and irrigation system that now includes lakes, rivers, and ponds full of fish. Migrating birds found the creation and they became a resting place on the long journey. After living life from nature on the farm for so many years, I was fascinated by the Arizonans who seem to say to themselves, “I miss that!” and then create a facsimile here that allows one to not miss the other places as much, and give the children of the taste of life in the world they are about to explore. I was missing the ocean. Being from the East Coast I think of Cape Cod when I think of ocean and it was so far away. Of course the Pacific is only four or five hours away but I was not going to travel right away preferring to finish the books. So I searched and found the aquarium in Tempe, Arizona and my lonely soul felt a bit full. Here’s the photo essay from that visit for you and yours.Love, Donna

Excerpt from Shells and Sea-LifeIT is well for young people to get acquainted with the crea tures which are living all around them. Birds and bees and squirrels are near neighbors to a great many of us, and they will prove good neighbors or bad neighbors, to a large degree, in accordance with our treatment of them. The same is true of many creatures that are not so well known as birds and bees. It may be necessary, at times, to restrict their numbers, and always to define the limits which they must not pass; and yet, how many people in this world live on bad terms with their neighbors, both brute and human, because they do not take the trouble to become acquainted with their good qualities.A warm, generous heart is a source of pleasure which can not be overestimated; and a narrow, cruel Spirit is a source of untold grief, not only to its possessor, but also to those with whom he comes in contact. The true teacher has a great mission. It is not merely to impart knowledge; far higher than that, it is to develop life, - life that is pure, truthful, honest, loving, and happy. For such a great work the teacher needs all possible aids.We seldom love that of which we have but slight knowledge. It is the aim of this book to assist the teacher in developing the interest of the pupils in a class of animals which is not so commonly studied or so well known as some other classes. If the interest can be awakened, good results are pretty sure to follow.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
