Hardback. Condition: New. Never has there been a president less content to sit still behind a desk than Theodore Roosevelt. When we picture him, he's on horseback or standing at a cliff's edge or dressed for safari. And Roosevelt was more than just an adventurer-he was also a naturalist and campaigner for conservation. His love of the outdoor world began at an early age and was driven by a need to not simply observe nature but to be actively involved in the outdoors-to be in the field. As Michael R. Canfield reveals in Theodore Roosevelt in the Field, throughout his life Roosevelt consistently took to the field as a naturalist, hunter, writer, soldier, and conservationist, and it is in the field where his passion for science and nature, his belief in the manly, "strenuous life," and his drive for empire all came together. Drawing extensively on Roosevelt's field notebooks, diaries, and letters, Canfield takes readers into the field on adventures alongside Roosevelt. From Roosevelt's early childhood observations of ants to his notes on ornithology as a teenager, Canfield shows how Roosevelt's quest for knowledge coincided with his interest in the outdoors.We later travel to the Badlands, after the deaths of Roosevelt's wife and mother, to understand his embrace of the rugged freedom of the ranch lifestyle and the western wilderness. Finally, Canfield takes us to Africa and South America as we consider Roosevelt's travels and writings after his presidency. Throughout, we see how the seemingly contradictory aspects of Roosevelt's biography as a hunter and a naturalist are actually complementary traits of a man eager to directly understand and experience the environment around him. As our connection to the natural world seems to be more tenuous, Theodore Roosevelt in the Field offers the chance to reinvigorate our enjoyment of nature alongside one of history's most bold and restlessly curious figures.

Hardback. Condition: New. 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.

As our connection to the natural world seems to be more tenuous, Theodore Roosevelt in the Field offers the chance to reinvigorate our enjoyment of nature alongside one of historys most bold and restlessly curious figures. Theodore Roosevelt first set foot into the field as a very young man, started a natural history museum at 8 years old, and reveled in expeditions in the field throughout his life. His adventures defined him--his policies and his persona--and are wonderfully chronicled in his journals and notebooks. TR's constant quest and passion for the outdoors influenced his experiences from the Spanish American War, to negotiations with Cuba, to hikes through Yellowstone with John Muir. Michael Canfield uses the notebooks to illuminate the force of nature in TR's life. He isolates the elements that drove Roosevelt-- his love of science and nature, his need to express manliness, his drive for empire--all of which share a common thru line, that of a propelling wish to act these out in the field. The outdoors to Roosevelt was like a perfect field jacket, which had a specific purpose, and yet which he donned for many pursuits--hunting, fishing, hiking, natural history study. This work invites readers to join TR on his adventures, with Canfield as a guide, and in the pages of his writings unearth a better understanding of what drove one of history's most remarkable characters.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. De vez en cuando, como señalaba recientemente el New York Times, un naturalista escribe un libro que cambia la forma de ver el mundo vivo. Notas de campo sobre la ciencia y la naturaleza, pionero en el estudio de plantas y animales en su hábitat natural, permite a los lectores asomarse a los cuadernos de una docena de eminentes científicos y naturalistas de campo para estudiar de primera mano sus métodos de observación, materiales e impresiones fugaces. ¿Qué anotaba George Schaller cuando estudiaba los leones del Serengeti? ¿Qué listas llevó Kenn Kaufman durante su gran año de 1973? ¿Cómo utiliza Piotr Naskrecki las bases de datos relacionales y las notas de campo electrónicas? ¿En qué sentido es el enfoque de Bernd Heinrich ?verdaderamente thoreauviano?, en opinión de E. O. Wilson? Registrar las observaciones sobre el terreno es una habilidad científica indispensable, pero los investigadores no suelen estar dispuestos a compartir sus registros personales con los demás. Aquí se reproducen por primera vez páginas reales de cuadernos de notas. Y en ensayos repletos de anécdotas fascinantes, los autores reflexionan sobre los contextos en los que se tomaron las notas. Abarcando disciplinas tan diversas como la ornitología, la entomología, la ecología, la paleontología, la antropología, la botánica y el comportamiento animal, este libro ofrece ejemplos concretos que los naturalistas profesionales pueden emular para perfeccionar sus propios métodos de campo, junto con consejos prácticos que los naturalistas aficionados y los estudiantes pueden utilizar *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
