Excerpt from Man on the Landscape: The Fundamentals of Plant ConservationThus far, we have as our potential audience the curious citizen, the agriculturist in all his forms, the forester, the home gardener, the feeder of animals both gentle and wild, the sportsman, the nature lover, that considerable body of folk who eat plants on occasion, and in particular, we have the teacher and student of plant life.Teachers and students of plant science doubtless think the subject important. It is our thesis that it is more important than even they claim. The demonstration of this proposition is a task on which we descend with considerable enthusiasm. Assuming that we shall be successful, we must conclude that those among our readers who happen to teach or will some day teach may want topass on to their students the facts, ideas, and proofs here presented. And so, we can not refrain from making suggestions on how to do it. However, these suggestions will not be imposed upon those remote from the teaching art, but will be buried in that Potter's field of the penman - an appendix.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
