From dust jacket: Herbert Faulkner West, Professor of Comparative Literature at Dartmouth College, author of the widely read Modern Book Collecting for the Impecunious amateur, has collected and described in The Nature Writers some two hundred and sixty books on the subject of external nature, a subject about which Henry Beston says in his foreword: "Man is part of the scene, not something opposed to it, and on the richness and wisdom of the relation depends the full humanity of any human being. It is this "full humanity" which The Nature Writers offers to every intelligent modern reader and collector. The books range from the African jungle to the eternal snows of the north and south Poles; here are the great mountaineering books; famous travel books which have become classics; books about animals, birds and fish; about the myriad of insects that battle interminably about us; about the great and simple men who have spent their lives observing natural life and writing about it in untechnical language. Gathered together, these writers exemplify the intelligent awareness with which man may observe the world around him, and which we, as readers, may observe and share vicariously.
