White Gilbert Books

Gilbert White was a "parson-naturalist," a pioneering English naturalist and ornithologist. More than any other writer, he shaped the relationship between humankind and nature. A century before Darwin, White recognized the crucial role of earthworms in soil formation and understood the significance of territory and song in birds. His precise, scrupulously honest, and unaffectedly witty observations led him to interpret animal behavior in a unique manner. His work continues to inspire readers to a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
