Nature In A City Yard: Some Rambling Dissertations Thereupon is a book written by Charles Montgomery Skinner and published in 1897. The book is a collection of essays and observations about the natural world in an urban setting. Skinner explores the flora and fauna found in his own backyard, and reflects on the ways in which nature can be appreciated and studied even in the midst of a bustling city. He also reflects on the relationship between humans and the natural world, and the ways in which urbanization and industrialization have impacted the environment. Throughout the book, Skinner’s writing is both poetic and informative, offering readers a unique perspective on the beauty and complexity of nature in unexpected places. The book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between nature and urban life, and a testament to the enduring power of the natural world to inspire and awe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
