Description: This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of the nature-study movement in America, specifically its pioneering efforts at Cornell University. Through the author's personal experiences and insights, we witness the movement's evolution as a response to the agricultural depression of the late 19th century. The book delves into the challenges faced by teachers in incorporating nature-study into their curriculum and provides practical guidance on overcoming them. More than just a pedagogical tool, nature-study is presented as a transformative experience for both students and teachers. It fosters a love for the natural world, cultivates keen observation skills, and instills a sense of wonder and respect for life. This book is a compelling testament to the enduring power of nature-study, reminding us that the lessons learned from observing the world around us can profoundly impact our lives and shape our understanding of our place within it.
