First published in 1905, 'Ways of Nature' is a collection of essays by American naturalist John Burroughs. Within them, Burroughs explores the idea of bird intelligence, which he maintains had been generally misjudged by his contemporaries due to a 'growing tendency to humanize the lower animals'. A fascinating and masterfully-written treatise, 'Ways of Nature' is not to be missed by fans of Burroughs' seminal work. Contents include: 'Ways Of Nature', 'Bird-songs', 'Nature With Closed Doors', 'The Wit Of A Duck', 'Factors In Animal Life', etc. Includes a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
