Nature in Downland (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169278639)

Nature In Downland is a book written by W. H. Hudson about the natural history of the English Downland. The Downland is a hilly region in southern England, known for its chalk hills, grasslands, and unique flora and fauna. Hudson, a naturalist and writer, explores the landscape and wildlife of the Downland in detail, describing the plants, animals, and geological features that make this region so special. He also reflects on the history and culture of the Downland, and how human activity has shaped the landscape over time. The book is a celebration of the natural beauty and diversity of the Downland, and an exploration of the complex relationship between humans and nature. It is a classic work of nature writing that continues to inspire readers today.The power of the sun and its joy is not felt so early on the downs as on the lower country, and last season it was not until the middle of June that I experienced the blissful sensation and feeling in its fullness. Then a day came that was a revelation; I all at once had a deeper sense and more intimate knowledge of what summer really is to all the children of life; for it chanced that on that effulgent day even the human animal, usually regarded as outside of nature, was there to participate in the heavenly bounty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
