Ways of Nature
John Burroughs
263 pages~5 hr 14 min read31 chapters$4.99
How much do animals really know, and how much do we imagine into them? John Burroughs takes a skeptic's affectionate look at instinct, birdsong, and animal minds, gently correcting the sentimentalists. Wise and clear-eyed. Think carefully about the ways of nature with a seasoned observer.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
