What reading level is Nature And Man in America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When mountain-building forces operate upon a section of the earth's crust which is favorably sit- uated for folding, they tend to lift the rocks into great billowy arches, the crests of which are in a general way parallel to each other. We may observe many familiar instances of similar movements in our ordinary experiences. Wherever materials used in the arts are in any way caused to swell or enlarge by taking in moisture or by the increase of heat, we find that they assume this form. Thus the ...asphalt on our sidewalks when expanded by the summer heat is cast into ridges. So, too, a thin sheet of wood placed on the floor in the shape of veneering will at times take in moisture and warp into small ridges; even the ice in our ponds forming at very low temperatures and afterward expanding in warmer weather, often forms sharp, mountain-like NATURE AND MAN IN AMEEICA. 59 ridges around the shores, — elevations which are de- veloped by the pressure which the enlarged ice exerts against the shore.
