The Sacred Beetle and Others by Jean-Henri Fabre Pdf

"The patience and the nicety of M. Fabre?s observations are indeed amazing. His eyes see, and they see magical marvels." ---- Daily ExpressConsidered "The Homer of Insects," Fabre's work laid the foundation for virtually all subsequent work in the field of entomology. Jean-Henri Fabre (1823-1915) is well known for his popularization of insect natural history, especially in the ten volumes of Souvenirs Entomoligiques. Although a reclusive amateur, with no scientific training, he was an acute observer of insect behavior. He combined his observations (most made in his own backyard) with a humanistic writing style that made his books popular, at least later in his life; during most of his life, the successive volumes of Souvenirs Entomologiques attracted only mild attention. Fabre was 84 when the last volume appeared, and soon afterward he was "discovered." He was elected to numerous scientific societies, provided a government pension, and even the President of France came to visit him. . .

The Sacred Beetle, and Others by Jean-Henri Fabre Pdf

Jean-Henri Fabre was a famous French entomologist whose observations of insects were praised - this examination of various beetles is characteristic of his meticulous yet engrossing descriptions. Fabre's greatest talent was rooted in his genuine passion for entomology; a natural ability to observe the quirks and habits of small creatures, and describe them to others in a plain but lively way. As demonstrated in this book, he wrote about insects as if they were his friends - seeing their lives play out, it is thus that qualities of biography are found alongside the scientific value of this work. In life, Fabre met with backlash for his unique style - formal schools, whom he in turn criticized for dryness of tutoring - considered his books long-winded, or even frivolous. Nevertheless he managed to connect atmospheric pressure to the behavior of certain insects, while contemporaries such as Charles Darwin held Fabre in high esteem, to the point of finding his studies inspirational.

The Sacred Beetle by John Ward Pdf

Excerpt from The Sacred Beetle: A Popular Treatise on Egyptian Scarabs in Art and History During many wanderings by the Nile, I have made a collection of several hundred Scarabs and Cylinders, and these from time to time have been arranged systematically, transliterated and translated by the kindness of my friend Mr. F. Llewellyn Griffith. He and others learned in Egyptological studies have frequently requested me to publish an Illustrated Catalogue of the collection; this is my apology for issuing the present volume. For they say there are few books, treating of scarabs alone, to be obtained. The Rev. W. J. Loftie published the first work on the subject; this was a dainty little volume "An Essay of Scarabs," issued in 1884.
