Autorenporträt
GILBERT WHITE (1720-1793) was a parson, naturalist, ornithologist, and ecologist who wrote of his birthplace and home, Selborne, in Hampshire, England and dedicated his life to documenting the flora, fauna, weather, and crops of that region. Touted as one who influenced Charles Darwin and invented the bird census, White's writing established the connection between man and nature.
