What reading level is Social Habitations And Parasitic Nests. From "homes Without Hands" book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The walls of the nest are remarkably hard and solid, but extremely variable in thickness, some parts being nearly three times as strong as others. The upper portions of the nest are the thickest, the reason for which is evident on inspecting the specimen.
The nest was found in a Guianan forest, near the river Berbice, suspended to a branch, which passed through a hole in the solid wall of the nest. In the actual specimen the branch is wanting ; but in the illustration it has been restored, in o...rder to show the manner in which the winged artificers suspended their wonderful home. As is always the case with pensile nests, the foundation is laid at the top, thus carrying out Dean Swift's suggestion for a new patent in architecture. A large quantity of clay is worked round the chosen branch, and made very strong, in order to sustain the heavy weight which will be suspended from it. This clay foundation is wonderfully hard, though very brittle, this latter quality being probably due to the long residence in a room which is always kept warm and dry by artificial means.
