鈥淟et us now, gentle reader, retire from the busy scenes of man and journey
on towards the wilds in quest of the feathered tribe,鈥� wrote the 18th-century
naturalist Charles Waterton. His vivid descriptions introduce the essays on
birds in By the Light of the Glow-Worm Lamp, an anthology of natural history
writing. You can also follow Vladimir Nabokov on a hunt for butterflies, or
ponder Darwin鈥檚 wide-eyed diaries from the Beagle鈥檚 visit to the Falkland
Islands. A book that鈥檚 a big lungful of fresh air for the enervated urbanite.
