Nature Studies--In Field and Wood

By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.

This book is destined to be one of the most important that the author
has written. Absorbingly interesting in itself, yet its greatest value
will lie in the fact that it will lead the reader to realize how blind
he has been to the many wonderful things that are happening on every
hand.

The brook, the pond, the field, the woods, the swamps and even the back
yards yield quantities of very interesting subjects for study. This book
treats entertainingly of many of these interesting creatures, but its
chief aim is to be an "awakener"--to arouse within the reader the desire
to go out and verify some of the facts given, or to do some original
investigation himself. Such studies develop the senses of perception and
observation immensely, and the one who is "alive" to what is going on
about him surely is better able to cope with all situations in life than
one who sees nothing until it is forcibly brought to his attention.

112 pages; size--51/2 x 71/2 in. 40 illustrations in color, and black and
white.

Camera Studies of Wild Birds in Their Homes

By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.

"CAMERA STUDIES" affords everyone an opportunity for a very intimate
study of bird life. A good photograph of an event together with an
interesting description of it is the next best thing to witnessing the
event itself.

"CAMERA STUDIES" has 250 photographs of events right in birds' home.
These pictures are selected from the author's collection of over 2000
bird photographs, this being one of the best collections of pictures of
free, living wild birds in existence.

Many rare and interesting poses are faithfully shown by the camera. For
instance, a pair of adult Chipping Sparrows, standing on a branch by the
sides of their four young, are engaged in pulling apart a large worm
that was too large to be given whole.

The stories accompanying these pictures are as interesting as the
photographs and above all they are all actual facts.

300 pages, 51/2 x 71/2 in.; 250 photographs of living, wild birds.

Handsomely bound in Cloth, $2.00 net; postage 20c.
