The First Book of Botany: A Practical Guide in Self-Teaching (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a groundbreaking guide to the study of botany, offering a fresh approach to learning that emphasizes direct observation and hands-on engagement with the natural world. It presents a revolutionary method of botanical study that challenges the traditional, book-based approach to education. The author passionately advocates for the cultivation of observational skills, arguing that these are often neglected in favor of rote memorization and abstract concepts. He argues that the study of plants provides a unique opportunity to develop these essential cognitive abilities. Drawing inspiration from the work of the late Professor Henslow, the author advocates for a systematic approach to observation, recording, and analysis of plant structures. The book provides a series of exercises designed to guide readers through detailed observations of leaves, stems, roots, flowers, and seeds. It encourages readers to make their own observations, compare them with the illustrations provided, and record their findings. By engaging in this active process of discovery, the book suggests, learners will develop a deeper understanding of the natural world and cultivate a keen sense of scientific inquiry. This book offers a compelling vision for education that values direct experience and the development of observational skills. It underscores the importance of engaging with the natural world as a means of fostering intellectual growth and cultivating a deeper understanding of the intricate workings of the plant kingdom.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces beginners to the study of botany, emphasizing direct observation of plant forms. Instead of memorizing facts from others, the author encourages students to get their own knowledge of plants by observing them.

It is a must-have for anyone interested in improving their observation skills or teaching science.
