Bailey articulated the essence of a social movement, led by ordinary public-school teachers, that lifted education out of the classroom and placed it into firsthand contact with the natural world. This definitive edition edited by John Linstrom reintroduces The Nature-Study Idea as an environmental classic for our time.
Includes the text of the "final, 1911 fourth edition of The Nature-Study Idea in its entirety, respecting all the changes Bailey made over the course of four editions to one of his most important books"--page xii of ECIP galley.
