Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book might be best described as a combination of natural history, folklore, and poetry as it pertains to the changing seasons of the year. The author is a close observer of nature, especially as it manifests in rural settings. He has a particular interest in the small, frequently unnoticed, details and spectacles that accompany the changing seasons, viewed through the lens of the local flora and fauna. The book includes observations on everything from the first signs of spring's arrival in early March, the blooming of flowers and the courting rituals of butterflies in April and May, the appearance of certain species of birds in the summer months, to the gathering and storing of nuts by squirrels in the fall and the habits of frogs and toads in the winter. The book is full of curious facts and anecdotes, and the author has a gift for presenting his material so as to make it easily accessible to even the most casual reader. Whether discussing the habits of nut-gathering squirrels or the muffled songs of winter frogs, the author takes great care to capture the wonder and beauty that nature can offer to any attentive and patient observer, even in the seemingly quietest of times. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330677049_0
