A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

So much attention is now given to the practical and systematic study of science in schools, that the valuable influence of descriptive scientific literature is apt to be overlooked. An intimate knowledge of the simplest fact in Nature can be obtained only by personal observation or experiment in the open air or the laboratory, but broad views of scientific thought and progress are secured best from books in which the methods and results of investigation are stated in language which is simple without being childish. Books intended to promote interest in science must differ completely from laboratory guides, textbooks, or works of reference. They should aim at exalting the scientific spirit which leads men to devote their lives to the advancement of natural knowledge, and at showing how the human race eventually reaps the benefit of such research.
