Hardback. Condición: Fair. For a thousand years the nightingale has been the most celebrated song-bird in the western world. In French troubadour lyrics, Romantic poems, even wartime propaganda, its exquisite oratorical song has symbolized both the renewing powers of nature and human love. Yet the real nightingale is a drab-coloured migrant, whose song is reckoned by scientists to be no different from any other bird's - a proclamation of territorial rights. So why have humans always fallen under its spell? This book looks at the natural history as well as the literary history of the nightingale.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Born before Waterloo, and working into the late Victorian period, Caroline May spent nearly half a century painting the wild flowers of Britain. The daughter and sister of country parsons, she lived in Hampshire, Surrey and Cornwall, but travelled all over Britain in search of plants to record in watercolour. Nearly a thousand of her paintings have survived, in perfect condition and previously unpublished, many of them over 150 years old. Richard Mabey, conservationist and botanist, has made a selection of these paintings, chosen for their pictorial distinction and grace as well as their botanical accuracy and interest. He has written an introduction and captions for each plate, giving the botanical classification for each plant depicted, the place and date it was recorded by Caroline May and further information about its habitat and history. A biographical sketch of Caroline May is contributed by her descendent, the Rev John Tyler, and there are contemporary maps to show the sites of her botanical excursions, which can be visited today. The 86 facsimile illustrations on wide white borders are suitable for removal, mounting and framing.…

"[A] witty and beguiling meditation on weeds and their wily ways.You will never look at a weed, or flourish a garden fork, in the same way again." --Richard Holmes, author of The Age of Wonder "In this fascinating, richly detailed book, Richard Mabey gives weeds their full due." --Carl Zimmer, author of Evolution Richard Mabey, Great Britain's Britain's "greatest living nature writer" (London Times), has written a stirring and passionate defense of nature's most unloved plants.  Weeds is a fascinating, eye-opening, and vastly entertaining appreciation of the natural world's unappreciated wildflowers that will appeal to fans of David Attenborough, Robert Sullivan's Rats, Amy Stewart's Wicked Plants, and to armchair gardeners, horticulturists, green-thumbs, all those who stop to smell the flowers.…
