A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Syndics of the Cambridge University Press propose to issue a Nature Study Series of which this is the first volume. We count ourselves fortunate in securing Dr E. J. Russell as author and Soil as subject. The subject is fundamental, for, just as the soil lies beneath the plant and animal life wt see, so is a knowledge of the soil necessary for all .iderstanding of flora and fauna. The real complexit l Athe apparently simple element Earth, and the vety of methods required for exploring it, are typii A of the problems which the tout ensemble of the outdoor world presents to the naturalist. Dr E. J. Russell has not only acquired a first-rate and first-hand knowledge of his subject at Wye and at Rothamsted; his own researches have recently extended our knowledge of the micro-organisms in the soil and their influence on fertility. Further, what is very much to our purpose, he has himself had practical experience in teaching at an elementary school in Wye and at a secondary school in Harpenden. Just at the present moment, County Councils are trying to push rural education and to awaken the intelligence of country children by interesting them in their surroundings. It is, therefore, a favourable opportunity to ofl er these pages as a concrete suggestion in model lessons and object lessons, showing exactly what can be done under existing conditions.
