| has gloss | eng: The nature study movement (alternatively, Nature Study or nature-study) was a popular education movement in America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Nature study—closely related to natural history—emphasized first-hand appreciation of nature and its beauty, rather than an analytical understanding of the natural world. The movement was led by Anna Botsford Comstock and Liberty Hyde Bailey, and often associated with girls' education as a replacement for more formal science training. Cornell University in New York, where Anna Comstock and her husband John Henry Comstock taught, was the center of the nature study movement. |
