About This Item
IDB Productions, 2017-01-01. MP3 CD. New. The Fairyland of Science composed by Arabella Burton Buckley consists of ten lectures, to name all, Lecture I The Fairy-Land of Science; How to Enter It; How to Use It; And How to Enjoy It; Lecture II Sunbeams, and the Work They Do; Lecture III The Aerial Ocean in Which We Live; Lecture IV A Drop of Water on its Travels; Lecture V The Two Great Sculptors - Water and Ice; Lecture VI The Voices of Nature, and How We Hear Them; Lecture VII The Life of a Primrose; Lecture VIII The History of a Piece of Coal; Lecture IX Bees in the Hive; and Lecture X Bees and Flowers. </br></br>Arabella Burton Buckley was an English author and science professor. She was born in Brighton, England. Henry Buckley, her brother, was the 1st Baron Wrenbury. At the age of 24, she worked as a secretary to Charles Lyell, and worked up to his death. Charles Darwin wrote to her to empathize with her on Lyell's death. Then she started discussing and writing about the subject of science. </br></br>As Charles Lyell's assistant and a woman, she has a good moral standing to teach the youth. Among her earlier fictional stories, The Fairy-Land of Science, has her perspectives of science drawn in a children's book, similar to a mother teaching her child. Her book was described as lectures and not as chapters emphasizing her manner of teaching the youth. In one of her lectures, The Two Great Sculptures - Water and Ice, she hyphens how water and ice form hills, crevasses and valleys similar to a sculptor creating a statue using a chisel. </br></br>She marries at the age of 44 but still continues to use her maiden name and among her later editions of Eyes and No Eyes, she used her married name, Mrs. Fisher. She also edited two other works, Mary Somerville's Connexion of the Physical Sciences in 1877 and Heinrich Leutemann's Animals from Life in 1887. Her books were translated into Japanese, Polish and Swedish during her days.
