What reading level is Science in Arcady book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But let us be just to our friends. A large part is also due to theindustrious earth-worm, whose place in nature Darwin first taught us toestimate at its proper worth. For there is much detritus and muchfirst-rate soil even on hills not covered by glaciers. Some of thistakes its origin, it is true, from disintegration by wind or rain, butmuch more is caused by the earth-worm in person. That friend ofhumanity, so little recognized in his true light, has a habit ofdrawing down leaves into his subt...erranean nest, and there eating themup, so as to convert their remains into vegetable mould in the form ofworm-casts. This mould, the most precious of soils, gets dissolvedagain by the rain, and carried off in solution by the streams to thesea or the lowlands, where it helps to form the future cultivable area. At the same time the earthworms secrete an acid, which acts upon thebare surface of rock beneath, and helps to disintegrate it inpreparation for plant life in unfavourable places. It is probable thatwe owe almost more on the whole to these unknown but conscientious andindustrious annelids than even to those 'mills of God' the glaciers, ofwhich the American poet justly observes that though they grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly small.
