Field study is a means of acquiring knowledge through the observation and exploration of our terrestrial environment. There are few
aids to this kind of learning. It requires qualities and powers of mind
different in some respects from those which are developed in the process
of learning from books or from discourse. It is a kind of learning
arising in the first place from curiosity about the visible and tangible
world, and requiring a capacity for looking beyond the superficial
appearance of things.
