Book Description
For decades, Handbook of Nature Study has been a matchless resource for teachers, naturalists, and anyone curious about the world around them. Originally written in 1911 and later revised by a group of naturalists in 1939, this classic work remains as valid and helpful today as it was back then. Anna Botsford Comstock crafted this handbook primarily for elementary school teachers who had limited knowledge of common plants, animals, and the natural environment. Whether you’re in an urban setting or the rural outback, this treasure trove of information provides insights into the living and nonliving things that surround us.
