The Natural History of Selborne, Vol. 1 by Gilbert White
"The Natural History of Selborne, Vol. 1" by Gilbert White is a natural history book first published in 1789. Compiled from letters to fellow naturalists, phenological observations, and systematic notes on species, this work chronicles the wildlife and landscape around White's Hampshire village. The seemingly simple correspondence creates an intimate portrait of pre-industrial English countryside, pioneering ecological observation through careful documentation of seasonal patterns and animal behavior. Continuously in print with nearly
300 editions, it has charmed readers for over two centuries with its accessible approach to nature study. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
