An Introduction to Nature-study
Ernest Stenhouse
Start with a seed: two cotyledons, a first root, a bend toward the light, and suddenly the whole outdoors is a laboratory. Ernest Stenhouse's course works through seeds, plants, and living creatures with experiments a student can actually do. A thorough Edwardian nature-study manual for teachers, parents, and patient young scientists. Grow your observations from scratch.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
