Gilbert White Series

Gilbert White was a pioneering English naturalist and ornithologist, often described as a "parson-naturalist." More than any other writer, White profoundly shaped humanity's relationship with the natural world. A century before Darwin, he grasped the vital role of earthworms in soil formation and understood the significance of territory and song in avian behavior. His precise, scrupulously honest, and unaffectedly witty observations allowed him to interpret animal behavior in a uniquely insightful manner, leaving a lasting literary legacy.
