The Friendship of Nature
de Wright(Ed. John Hopkins University Press) Isbn : 080186223X

"Published in 1894, the same year as John Muir's The Mountains of California, Wright's The Friendship of Nature helped to launch the "back-to-nature" movement that swept America at the turn of the century.

He covers classification, food, reproduction and life cycle, pigeon-human relationships, homing and navigation, and Darwin's use of pigeons in his studies of evolution. Skutch writes well and entertains as well as informs. Recommended for academic and large public libra...
