Written largely in the form of letters, the book records birds, animals, plants, weather and seasonal change with remarkable patience and precision. White's close attention to local wildlife helped establish a tradition of field observation that influenced later naturalists and conservationists. Rather than simply collecting specimens, White studied living creatures in their natural surroundings and recorded patterns of behaviour with unusual patience and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn very good overall condition.
