Description:Excerpt from The American Natural History, Vol. 1: A Foundation of Useful Knowledge of the Higher Animals of North America: The views entertained by the author and publisher as they were represented by the first edition of the "American Natural History" have been materially strengthened by the lapse of time. In 1904 we believed that the time was ripe for the publication of a work which, while scientifically accurate, would convey much practical information, and be read through for entertainment before being placed upon the shelf for reference. The highest compliment that the author ever received regarding the original volume was the assurance from a young lady that she had "read every page of it, from cover to cover." During the past ten years, the conditions affecting the wild life of North America have swiftly changed. The total amount of scientific facts that have been accumulated by the technologists, and stored up for future reference, is enormous. Scientific "specialization" has become such an educational mania that the old-fashioned "all-round" naturalists now are few and lonesome. At the same time, however, the need for the dissemination of practical every-day knowledge regarding our mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes never was so great as now. The wholesale destruction of bird life, with the enormously increased cost of living that has come as a natural and inexorable result, renders it highly necessary that people generally should have a chance to recognize their friends and their enemies in the animal world. To-day there are millions of American producers and consumers who do not know their best friends, and who think, for example, that a quail is valuable only as so many ounces of edible meat for the table.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
