Abstract
THE chief aim of an “Extension Manual” as of “Extension lectures” is to stimulate interest and to spread information. In natural science, at any rate, it is impracticable through the medium of either Extension lectures or Extension manuals, to give that training which the student, be he specialist or generalist, can obtain only by practical work, aided by practical instruction. But there are a great number of people, some already busily engaged, others on the threshold of their life's work, which possess some interest in, and some information about, those matters, with the study of which scientific men are occupied. For them Extension lectures and manuals are a great boon; and to them Mr. Thomson's work on “The Study of Animal Life” may be cordially recommended. We trust it will stimulate them, as he would desire. to become themselves observers.
The Study of Animal Life.
By J. Arthur Thomson “University Extension Manuals.” (London: Murray, 1892.)
