In The Nature-Study Idea, Liberty Hyde Bailey articulated the
essence of a social movement, led by ordinary public-school
teachers, that lifted education out of the classroom and placed it
into firsthand contact with the natural world. The aim was simple
but revolutionary: sympathy with nature to increase the joy of
living and foster stewardship of the earth. This definitive edition
edited by John Linstrom reintroduces The Nature-Study
Idea as an environmental classic for our time. It provides
historical context through a wealth of related writings, and
introductory essays relate Bailey's vision to current work in
education and the intersection of climate change and culture. In
this period of planetary turmoil, Bailey's ambition to cultivate
wonder (in adults as well as children) and lead readers back into
the natural world is more important than ever.
