The Selborne pioneer: (Gilbert White as naturalist and scientist, a re-examination )

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 213-223) and index.

Book News Annotation:

White (1720-93) is thought of today as more of a literary figure than a scientist, and his research tends to be either ignored entirely or denigrated. British historian Dadswell sets out to correct the impression by showing that he was in fact a careful, systematic, and thoughtful naturalist who stood out from others of his time. He culls from his writings information about nature as an economy, the disappearing swallows, the problem of adaptation, and other matters. He appends five relevant papers and extracts.
