In the 18th century and well into the 19th century, natural history as a term was frequently used to refer to all scientific studies, as opposed to political or ecclesiastical history.
The term "natural history" alone, or sometimes together with archaeology, forms the name of many national, regional and local natural history societies that maintain records for birds (ornithology), mammals, insects (entomology) and plants (botany).
The growth of natural history societies was also spurred due to the growth of British colonies in tropical regions with numerous new species to be discovered.

Dragonflies and Damselflies are the most popular group of insects among non-specialist nature watchers after the Lepidoptera.
They have long been of interest to many people because of their large size, diurnal habits and great beauty, in Japan many nature reserve have been made primarily to protect Odonates and in many countries they have their own societies.
To sum up, this is a rather lovely and neatly produced little book that will undoubtedly bring an increase of joy in the natural world to many people but I think that if the publishers are going to reissue it sometime in the future a few changes could be positively made.

 New Ethiopian Fossils Are From 6-million-year-old Hominid Living Just After Split From Chimpanzees   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
BERKELEY — Paleoanthropologists from the University of California, Berkeley, and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History have found more fossils of a nearly 6-million-year-old human ancestor first reported three years ago, cementing its importance as the earliest hominid to appear after the human line diverged from the line leading to modern chimpanzees.
When first reported in the journal Nature in 2001, the hominid was named Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba, a subspecies of a younger hominid, Ardipithecus ramidus, also from the Middle Awash region of Ethiopia.
Haile-Selassie and coauthors Tim White of UC Berkeley and Gen Suwa of the University Museum at the University of Tokyo report their fossil finds in the March 5 issue of the journal Science.
