This posthumous 1795 publication, edited by the physician and writer John Aikin (1747–1822), comprises a collection of extracts from White's previously unpublished papers from 1768 to his death. Presented here for 'lovers of natural knowledge' is a full year of White's observations. Following the month-by-month record of natural events, the book contains brief studies of birds, quadrupeds, insects, plants and the weather. A lifelong lover of the outdoors, White had kept a near daily record of his activities for more than forty years. Regarded as one of the fathers of ecology, inspiring others to appreciate the natural world, White is best known for The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne (1789), which is also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Naturalist's calendar\u003cbr\u003e Observations on birds\u003cbr\u003e Observations on quadrupeds\u003cbr\u003e Observations on insects and vermes\u003cbr\u003e Observations on vegetables\u003cbr\u003e Meteorological observations\u003cbr\u003e Summary of the weather.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Popular science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Popular science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Popular%20science%20%5BPDZ%5D%22\"\u003ePDZ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004704084248,"sku":"9781108076555","price":23.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108076555i_25ff3faf-70ad-4cd5-9d96-cb78cf48a2f2.jpg?v=1696751606","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-naturalists-calendar-with-observations-in-various-branches-of-natural-history-paperback-9781108076555","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
