The Handbook of Nature Study

by Anna Botsford Comstock

Book Overview

A matchless handbook for decades, this classic work has been the natural history bible for countless teachers and others who seek information about their environment.

Disappointed

Where's the rest of the book?!? The second half of the book listed in the table of contents is not even included in this book. I purchased this for the plant study and it's not even included.

Not the complete book!!

I wanted this book for our nature study unit on plants and... it’s missing the whole part 3 about plants. The print is very small and light, difficult to read in some parts.

Most of the information is there

This copy is missing the entire part 3 of the book, which talks about trees, sky, rocks, etc. this happened to be exactly what I needed the book for. If you are wanting this book for insects, mammals, etc., this book should be perfect.
