Synopsis

Explore the world of living things with a practical guide for nature study in schools.

This Canadian-edition manual introduces the field of Nature Study, showing how teachers and students can observe life closely and learn from it. It emphasizes helping beginners build confident, intelligent observation rather than aiming for exhaustive detail, and it uses illustrations to convey information clearly.

This edition focuses on mammals in Part I, outlining what makes mammals unique, how they’re classified, and how to approach field study even when access to wildlife is limited. It also discusses how observations can support broader course work and the protection and appreciation of wild animals.
What you’ll experience:

• A clear overview of the study field, methods, and practical study guidance
• An introduction to mammal groups, recognition, and real-world examples
• Advice on using illustrations, outlines, and class work to spark curiosity
• Encouragement for teachers and students to observe, compare, and interpret life

Ideal for teachers, students, and curious readers who want a grounded, hands-on approach to nature study in
Canadian classrooms. This edition is a solid starting point for lifelong observation of the natural world.
