About this Item

Hardback. First Edition. Wild Life Around Us and the Story of the Rocks. Slight foxing to end inside covers and edge. Orange cloth with green lettering. The essays that are collected here were all designed originally as broadcast talks. This book, then, taken as a whole, illustrated the method of scientific work; which is, first of all, minute individual observation, and then the relation of observation to the corpus of known fact; without this relation, any individual piece of work is bound to be incomplete. But do not let these remarks of mine obscure what the writers we present to you have to say; they are talking, and talking with intimate knowledge, of something far more fundamental - the country in which and on which we live. Illustrated. 217 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
