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.

This book is a compilation of the author's letters to other naturalists – Thomas Pennant and Daines Barrington. Some of the letters were never posted, and were written for the book. White's Natural History was at once well received by contemporary critics and the public, and continued to be admired by a diverse range of nineteenth and twentieth century literary figures. His work has been seen as an early contribution to ecology and in particular to phenology. The book has been enjoyed for its charm and apparent simplicity, and the way that it creates a vision of pre-industrial England.

"Lady Selborne was a comparatively small place, situated in an area on the slopes of the gentle Magaliesberg mountains, to the west of the city centre of Pretoria. By 1942, the multiracial Lady Selborne was home to about 22 000 people, the majority of whom were Northern Sotho, but also including Nguni, Shangaan, coloured, Indian, white and Chinese people. It was to become the largest Group Areas Act dispossession project in Pretoria" -- back cover.
