Once in a great while, as the "New York Times" noted recently, a
naturalist writes a book that changes the way people look at the
living world. John James Audubon s "Birds of America, " published
in 1838, was one. Roger Tory Peterson s 1934 "Field Guide to the
Birds" was another. How does such insight into nature develop?
Pioneering a new niche in the study of plants and animals in
their native habitat, " Field Notes on Science and Nature" allows
readers to peer over the shoulders and into the notebooks of a
dozen eminent field workers, to study firsthand their observational
methods, materials, and fleeting impressions.
What did George Schaller note when studying the lions of the
Serengeti? What lists did Kenn Kaufman keep during his 1973 big
year ? How does Piotr Naskrecki use relational databases and
electronic field notes? In what way is Bernd Heinrich s approach
truly Thoreauvian, in E. O. Wilson s view? Recording observations
in the field is an indispensable scientific skill, but researchers
are not generally willing to share their personal records with
others. Here, for the first time, are reproductions of actual pages
from notebooks. And in essays abounding with fascinating anecdotes,
the authors reflect on the contexts in which the notes were
taken.
Covering disciplines as diverse as ornithology, entomology,
ecology, paleontology, anthropology, botany, and animal behavior,
"Field Notes "offers specific examples that professional
naturalists can emulate to fine-tune their own field methods, along
with practical advice that amateur naturalists and students can use
to document their adventures.

Midway through the brisk fall of 1941, Morris and Sadie Goldstein
begin to cultivate a small community of tenants in their six-flat
brownstone. As World War II descends, this group has no options but
to cling to one another. The fate of each tenant depends on the
relationships they develop as they grapple with the outcomes of
war. The Brownstone is a story of compassion, grief, love, and
understanding shared by this small, eclectic community.

The romantic and inspirational poems in this volume are expressed
in different styles. These range from Shakespearean to surrealist,
and often seem like song lyrics. The poems stand out on their own,
however, and are meant to affect the reader's emotions very deeply.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
