Handbook of Nature Study: Earth and Sky

Description

Take The Handbook of Nature-Study with you wherever you go with these handy new editions from Living Book Press.

Since 1911, Anna Comstock’s Handbook of Nature Study has been an essential tool for all budding naturalists. Unfortunately, its large size made it impractical in the field. Her original 1911 edition now been broken up into individual sections for easy portability. New full-color photos are included for those times that you’re unable to see nature up close.

This volume features the Earth and Sky section along with the author’s lesson questions, suggested readings, and teacher’s stories. Grab this book along with a field guide specific to your area and enjoy delving into the endlessly fascinating world that is nature-study.

The 1939 edition, released after Comstock’s death, rearranged the chapters in this section quite drastically, adding a few paragraphs to introduce the rock types, as well as some essays on soil and erosion. These couldn’t be added for legal reasons, however you can read them online here.
