One of the most published books in the English language is Gilbert White’s The Natural History of Selbourne. This book is a fascinating account of White’s meticulous observations of the plant and animal life in the small eighteenth-century village where he lived and served as curate. Though almost unknown in America, this book is considered the cornerstone of all environmental writing. Tonight, Inquiry speaks with ecology writer RICHARD MABEY about his definitive biography GILBERT WHITE.
