Rese�a del editor

He was engaged more or less conm Jtinuously throughout his life in carrying out systematic observations and experiments on the habits and intelligence of animals, and in the pursuit of this hobby collected a large number of careful notes which it was always his intention to publish. He died, however, without bringing this side of his life to fruition, and it has not yet been possible to publish his records and notes on this subject. From time to time, however, throughout his life he wrote essays and articles of general interest on subjects of natural history. In the present volume a selection of these has been brought together for the first time. The first two in the book the latest written have not before been published. The remainder appeared in the authors lifetime, over a period of some twenty years, in periodical literature. We are able to reproduce them now by the courtesy of the journals in which they appeared. Owing to the manner in which these essays were in the first place written they contain a certain amount of repetition which, though to a certain extent unavoidable, has been as far as possible reduced in editing the present selection.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating glimpse into the world of wild bird life, a subject the author was passionate about throughout his lifetime. Through a collection of essays written over a period of twenty years, the author vividly describes his observations and experiences with birds in their natural habitats, primarily focusing on the Severn Estuary in England. The essays are infused with a deep appreciation for nature and a keen eye for detail, capturing the sights, sounds, and behaviours of a wide variety of avian species. The author's work is especially interesting in its broader historical context, as it offers insights into a time when Britain was still largely rural and wild, and the connection between humans and the natural world was much more intimate. The essays delve into the intricate language of bird calls, the complex interplay of predator and prey, and the remarkable instincts that drive their behaviour. They also touch upon the authorâ� �s fascination with the intricate web of life and the delicate balance that maintains it, echoing a growing awareness of environmentalism in the early 20th century. The book is a timeless exploration of the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and it reminds us of the vital importance of understanding and protecting it.
