Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life of a remarkable young man, Thomas Edmondston, a naturalist born in the remote Shetland Islands in 1825. It details his early childhood, marked by precocious intellect and a deep fascination with nature. His life is framed against the backdrop of the Shetland Islands, a place little known even in the 19th century, and provides a glimpse into the unique culture and rugged beauty of these islands. The author uses letters and journals to chronicle Edmondston's early studies and his deep passion for botany and ornithology, highlighting his remarkable ability to learn and absorb knowledge. The book also delves into the historical context of Shetland, examining the challenges faced by its inhabitants, their reliance on fishing, and their isolation from the mainland. The book not only celebrates Edmondston's talent and love for natural science but also examines the themes of education, exploration, and the influence of place on character. The author provides a poignant account of a young man whose life, tragically cut short, promised great contributions to the field of natural history. 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 9781331239253_0
