'A matchless handbook for decades, this classic has been the natural history bible of countless teachers and others who seek information about their natural environment. Written originally for those elementary school teachers who knew little of common plants and animals, and even less about earth beneath their feet and the skies overhead, this book is for the most part as..more

Currently reading this with my kids who LOVE nature and we are all going to start our own field guide books to keep track of what we have learned & seen :)

One of the best nature books for kids and adults! Great resource for parents, homeschoolers, or nature explorers!

One of the best resources available for parents and homeschoolers, and primary teachers who are looking for useful, practical ideas in teaching about plants, animals, earth, and sky.

This book has already been a valuable resource, even in our beginning nature study. I look forward to using it more as we discover more!
I adore this book. I haven't finished reading it yet because it is the kind of book that is best read in little snippets, but I can't say enough good about what I have read so far. The book is a compilation of essays/lessons written by a female professor at Cornell back I the early 1900s. I love the old fashioned language and the author's unrestrained love for the natural world which spills over into everything she writes. Sometimes she is really funny even though she is not trying to be because..more

Another wonderful book gifted to me by a wonderful sister. This is an extensive nature guide for the layman. I believe it was originally published in 1939 and Cornell University had something to do with it. Her writing on nature is witty and informative; I seem to recall a particularly funny description of a badger. The book is broken up by animal, and includes questions for review for those using it as a study guide or textbook.

A timeless classic that has been the preferred reference material for many decades among those seeking to delve into nature study. Originally written in 1911, Anna Botsford Comstock sought to inform other educators on how to incorporate nature study into their classrooms and cultivate a desire in their students to observe the natural world around them. Despite its age, The Handbook of Nature Study continues to be a source of relevant information on both the living and non-living specimens that t..more

This book has such wonderful lessons. I still to this day pull this from my shelves and research so many different things. This is one that all families with any interest in nature and the study of nature should add to their shelves. This is even a book that I think those who aren't really interested in studying nature should consider reading. It may just make you want to get out there and take a hike. There were even some lessons that would bring a smile as you read them (i.e. the one about the..more
While I've only read the first part, and browsed the remainder, this excellent book serves as a teaching guide for nature study with basic information and questions regarding animals, insects, plants, etc. found commonly in North America. If you enjoy being outside and want to learn more about what you find in Nature, you can learn a lot from this book.
Sep 26, 2019Karen rated it it was ok
We use this book as a reference and read parts of it when we study a certain item. Not a book you would read cover to cover. Good information but just a bit much that the kids don't even turn to it. I use it to read aloud when doing a nature study on a particular item..krb 9/26/19

Essential Charlotte-Mason style companion, although I must push back against her constant fear of 'teaching too much' and the specific (and exceedingly constrictive) restraints she specifies. To each (parent and child) their own, lady!

I think we’ll be using this as more of a reference after our walks to look up what is interesting vs reading before.
Sep 12, 2013Nelleke Plouffe rated it it was amazing
I use the Handbook of Nature Study as a reference for our homeschool Nature Study. The ideas contained in the introduction alone are worth the price of the book. It amazes me how valuable the nature information in this book is, even in this age of the internet. I think it's because the author loved nature. This is more than mere information. This is a living book with perspective, wisdom, and interesting detail.
I would like to see this book updated with better binding (hardcover would be nice)..more

Excellent handbook for studying nature with your children (or by yourself) - I guess the title is appropriate, eh?
It might be a little tedious to those who don't like to or won't read the introduction. The beginning includes lots of lofty philosophy about how to do nature study correctly - all of it excellent, but non-bookish people might balk at the old fashioned language and sheer volume of text to wade through. It is worth the read. Apply the principles and you will have an award winning natu..more

Handbook Of Nature Study Pdf Free

This is a great resource for nature study with children. It prepares the teacher to guide her students in developing obvservation skills via hands on exploration of nature. What I love about it is that the author doesn't come across as being didactic, but writes as someone who comes alongside the reader to share in the joy of discovery. The preface of the book, written directly to the teacher, is worth the price of the book. In it, she discusses the importance of nature study, not only for the b..more
Definitely a great book. The way I read it is reading Part I to learn the concepts of teaching nature study and using the rest of the book as a reference. When kids are young, it is useless to feed them with knowledge. What is more important is to inspire their curiosity in learning the nature. I take my kid out for a walk and encourage discovery by herself, and reference back the parts of book that are related. I used a pretty old version, so pictures are black and white. I wish I could find a..more

Handbook Of Nature Study Pdf 2016

Unlikely that this is the book I'm looking for but at least it's old enough to have been on the family bookshelves in the 1950's. I found my first nature book there and found it to be reasonably kid friendly. The book I'm referring to was not 7-900 pages and was hardbound and bigger than an encylopedia volume and may have been only about animals. I don't remember. Very engrossing.. Date read is approximate.

This is a classic. This is my new favorite book for Biology. I need to get a copy of this. This book will now be our family's scholor book to teach biology.
This book is descriptive and answers all the questions we could ask about nature. This book is black and white and certainly not entertaining. I'm trying to remove the books out of my life that are entertaining and provide only 'good or fair' reading material. This book will actually teach us about nature and biology.

I am in love with this book. It is a lot of information and can take a bit of time to figure how to use it and go through the information. I use it as background for me so I know how to guide things in our nature and science studies. It's been a staple in our home school since we first started over 10 years ago.
While I didn't exactly read it cover to cover yet, it's just one of those books you know that while it would take years to 'finish', it will be used and used often. The introduction on how to teach nature study is phenomenal and necessary as the entire book is a necessity for every parent who wants their child to have a great relationship with nature.

I just got this book before school started. I had heard and read so much about it, I had to have it. I'm glad I own it now. What an invaluable reference for our nature studies. I have caught myself going back to it again and again long after a lesson is over just to read some more.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. It is our go-to book for everything nature. We have a physical copy as well as the e-book (for taking out side on hikes). We will use this for many years to come. A great investment!

Saw this book at my library and so glad I checked it out. So much useful information with pictures. Good book for adults and children.
Will buy this book for my personal library.
Great resource. Found it a little overwhelming at first because it's so exhaustive!
Great go-to resource for nature study.
This book should be more popular. I found it through a homeschool group. It is answers many of the questions that young children have about nature.
love this book. a valuable resource for learning about the world around you--and then passing it on to your children, with lots of ideas on how to go about it.
