A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

This book treats the subject of botany from the same point of view that was adopted in the authors Practical Botany, but more briefly; that is, it endeavors to deal with the subject with constant reference to common educational, aesthetic, and practical interests in plant life. It also emphasizes the dynamic side of botany. The plant is not used primarily as a subject for dissection, nor for making a preserved specimen, but as an organism with a living to make an organism that is forced to maintain its existence under conditions that are sometimes favorable and sometimes unfavorable to it. Constant effort has been made to render the style of the book simple and direct. The object here sought is to present in a short course that kind of botanical knowledge which will especially interest the average secondary-school pupil, and which will be of most service to him as a means of education. Along with this training a good deal of other knowledge is presented, which should remain as a valued acquisition throughout the students after life- knowledge of forest, field, wayside, farm, orchard, garden, and the industries. Since it has been shown that our disciplinary education may be useful in after life, mainly as the materials studied have elements in common with those later encountered, it becomes imperative that the elementary sciences should utilize in their content those things with which people are to come in contact.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
