Sinopsis
Excerpt from Shell-Fish Industries
Mr. Roosevelt uttered a great truth when he stated that the most important problem confronting the nation is the conservation of its natural resources; and the wonderful awakening of the people to that truth, for which he more than any other person is responsible, is one of the most important events that has occurred in America during a century of waste and extravagance. An attempt has here been made to show that even the resources of the great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, are very far from being inexhaustible, as many seem to imagine; but also that some of its useful forms may, by directing the processes of nature that are at the same time productive of so great bounty and so great waste, not only be conserved, but made to produce even on waste places greater harvests than ever before existed.

Excerpt from Shell-Fish Industries
It was suggested to me that I should try to prepare this account of our food mollusks for three groups of persons, namely, those who eat them, those who may be or desire to become directly interested in their culture, and those who may have an interest in the biological problems involved in their artificial control. This suggestion I adopted, and many times since have wondered at the recklessness of my courage in attempting a performance of so varied a character. I recall vividly the impression made on my youthful mind years ago on witnessing the evolutions of three beautifully matched horses and the graceful feat of James Robinson in riding them around a ring. Though in my wildest childhood imaginings I never dreamed of attempting or desired to attempt so skilful an act, I have in the last months, at a period of life that should conventionally be characterized at least by sedateness, experienced the disquieting sensation of having actually attempted much the same kind of a performance in thus endeavoring to present several topics that might hold the attention of readers possessing widely different interests. While desiring to exhibit these subjects so as to 5 bring out their most interesting features, I, of course, have been compelled to present them for brief intervals one at a time, thus always giving two-thirds of my readers an opportunity to yawn. If, however, it should i happen that the other third is interested, I shall be amply paid for my effort.
