Description
Excerpt from Exploring Nature With Your Child: An Introduction to the Enjoyment and Understanding of Nature The writing of this book would have been quite impossible without the wholehearted interest of my husband, Melvin Shuttlesworth. His excellent advice and suggestions, as well as practical helps, have been invaluable. I am grateful also to Frederick Drimmer, editor of The Greystone Press, for his guidance and enthusiasm all along the way. My deep appreciation goes also to C. M. Goethe of Sacramento, California, who through a lifetime of nature exploring has caused innumerable parents and children to follow his example, and whose interest in my work over many years has been a constant inspiration. It is impossible to express adequately my debt to the American Museum of Natural History, where my work gives me the privilege of discussing the various aspects of nature with brilliant scientists who are devoting their lives to the study of some particular field of the natural sciences. Particularly am I indebted to the following members of the Scientific Staff who have read and helpfully criticized chapters of this book: Dr. John T. Zimmer, Curator of Birds; T. Donald Carter, Assistant Curator of Mammals; Francesca R. LaMonte, Associate Curator of Fishes; Bessie Matalas Hecht, Scientific Assistant, Amphibians and Reptiles; John Pallister, Research Associate, Insects and Spiders; Farida A. Wiley, Instructor, Department of Education; Dr. Henry K. Svenson, Curator, Forestry and Botany; Robert R. Coles, Chairman, Astronomy and the Hayden Planetarium. Also my thanks to Dr. George H. Childs for reading the section of seashore life, and to Dr. George G. Goodwin, Associate Curator of Mammals for reading the section on whales. I am grateful for the kind permission of Dr. Arnold Gesell and of Ginn and Company to include (in Chapter One) an excerpt from The Normal Child and Primary Education, by Arnold and Beatrice Chandler Gesell.
