Seller's Description
1977 GILBERT WHITE "THE NATURAL HISTORY OF SELBORNE" PENGUIN PAPERBACK BOOK (P2)
Great vintage Penguin paperback book from 1977 by Gilbert White. Binding and pages inside are in great condition especially as the book is 47 years old.
More than any other writer Gilbert White (1720-93) has shaped the relationship between man and nature. A hundred years before Darwin, White realised the crucial role of worms in the formation of soil and understood the significance of territory and song in birds. His precise, scrupulously honest and unaffectedly witty observations led him to interpret animals' behaviour in a unique manner. This collection of his letters to the explorer and naturalist Daines Barrington and the eminent zoologist Thomas Pennant - White's intellectual lifelines from his country-village home - are a beautifully written, detailed evocation of the lives of the flora and fauna of eighteenth-century England.
See photos for contents page and examples of pages inside.

- OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: 's estimated delivery dates for International ECONOMY are incorrect. They are working to resolve this (allegedly) but estimates are too short. In reality, ECONOMY takes up to 2 weeks to Western Europe, up to 5 weeks to Eastern Europe, up to 6 weeks to USA & Canada, up to 8 weeks to Asia and up to 3 months to Australia/New Zealand. Sometimes deliveries can be before these estimates (eg. USA sometimes receives packages in 2 weeks) but best be prepared for the longest estimate. Economy does not have tracking. If you require tracking, select International Tracked option.
