Open-Air Studies in Australia by Frederick Chapman (Second Hand Book)

Description SECOND HAND BOOK The twenty essays contained in this book were originally contributed to the Melbourne Press. Their publication aroused keen interest, and several scientists of note persuaded Mr. Chapman to reprint them in collected form. They now appear with some slight alterations and necessary additions, together with over sixty valuable illustrations and diagrams. While definitely scientific, and based on the most up-to-date discoveries and research of modern science, the essays are designed for the general reader who is interested in the many interesting problems related to soil and scenery. They are written in a simple, informal, and attractive manner, and provide valuable information for those who care to inquire into the hidden secrets of Nature. To students and teachers of Nature Study they should be of considerable practical value. Specifications: Condition: Poor, but is almost 100 years old. Dust jacket is quite ripped, aged and delicate.
