Gilbert White: A biography of the author of The Natural History of Selborne

Richard Mabey

When the pioneering naturalist Gilbert White (1720-93) wrote The Natural History of Selborne (1789), he created one of the greatest and most influential natural history works of all time, his detailed observations about birds and animals providing the cornerstones of modern ecology. In this award-winning biography, Richard Mabey tells the wonderful story of the clergyman - England’s first ecologist - whose inspirational naturalist’s handbook has become an English classic.
