A graphically stunning, first-ever volume of nautical codes for
children This extraordinary visual reference is an introduction to
maritime communication through nautical flags, along with morse
code, the phonetic alphabet, and semaphore signaling. Today's
system of international maritime signal flags was devel-oped in the
19th century, and is still used for communication between ships, or
between ship and shore. Each flag, boldly colored for visual
distinction at sea, stands for a letter as well as a phrase
relevant to seafaring. The resulting code is both beautiful and
functional, inviting readers to code and decode messages of their
own! Created for ages 6-8 years

Frank Eugene Lutz became an entomologist at a time when this
science was still new. He was one of the first to set up
experiments in the study of heredity using the common fruit fly. In
his many field trips he observed unusual insects in their natural
habitats and brought back thousands of valuable specimens. As
curator of the Department of Entomology at the American Museum of
Natural History, he was responsible for innovations in labeling and
museum display. His observations of more than one thousand species
found in his own back yard were the basis for his classic book,
Lots of Insects. He set up the first nature trail in America;
devising museum exhibits in natural outdoor settings. This first
biography of one of the great American entomologists is filled with
all the excitement that is to be found in the strange and infinite
world of insects. Here is the fascinating story of Dr. Lutz s
career along with a series of natured projects you can do at home
that will help you observe insect behavior for yourself. Projects
include: Bringing Insects to You, The Hows of Collecting, and
Preserving and Mounting. While we already know much about insect
life, much, much more remains to be learned. Even the amateur
entomologist can make a contribution to science through their own
research "
Karl Patterson Schmidt was one of America's most influential
naturalists. In his special field of herpetology-the study of
reptiles and amphibians-he made fascinating discoveries about the
habits of snakes and their environment. This biography follows his
exciting career from his boyhood in Lake Forest, Illinois, through
his college days at Cornell, his participation in geological
expeditions, his first job as a herpetologist at the American
Museum of Natural History, and his later expeditions which took him
all over the world. As you trace the path of Schmidt's career, you
can follow his footsteps with a series of fun projects including:
Finding Reptiles and Amphibians and Assembling a Scrap Book of
Herpetological Pets. All the equipment you need is inexpensive or
easily made. With patience and persistence you can find reptiles
and amphibians wherever you happen to live.
William Temple Hornaday is one of the great figures in the world of
natural science. As a very young man he was a famous explorer and
collector of zoological specimens from the jungles of Venezuela,
Borneo, and India. As chief taxidermist of the Smithsonian
Institution he pioneered the art of mounting animals realistically
and displaying them in natural settings. Almost single-handedly he
preserved the American bison from total extinction. He was the
first director of the Bronx Zoo, a post he held for thirty years.
At a time when few people in America recognized the need to
preserve our natural heritage, he led and advocated for the
wildlife conservation movement. This biography is filled with all
the adventure and excitement that Hornaday found in his outdoor
world, and is accompanied by projects that will allow you to follow
in his footsteps as you learn about his trailblazing career path.
The projects teach you how to observe the food habits, life cycles,
social relationships and homebuilding skills of animals with
inexpensive or easily made equipment.
