吉爾伯特•懷特(1720~1793年),英國18世紀著名博物學傢、作傢。懷特大半生在傢鄉塞爾伯恩度過,以觀察鳥獸魚蟲為樂。其書信體著作《塞爾伯恩博物誌》兩百多年流傳不絕,對後世影響甚巨。
More than any other writer, Gilbert White (1720-93) has shaped the relationship between man and nature. A hundred years before Darwin, White realised the crucial role of worms in the formation of soil and understood the significance of territory and song in birds. His precise, scrupulously honest and unaffectedly witty observations led him to interpret animals' behaviour in a unique manner. This collection of his letters to the explorer and naturalist Daines Barrington and the eminent zoologist Thomas Pennant - White's intellectual lifelines from his country-village home - are a beautifully written, detailed evocation of the lives of the flora and fauna of eighteenth-century England.

關於博物誌,我曾經的理解是一本類似於工具書的讀本,它收集者最為詳細的自然物種信息,有著簡練科學又乾癟的數據介紹,或者再加上幾句官方格式的簡介,然後插圖,不能更多瞭。然而這本卻是與我腦海中的印象不一樣的,他有著悠揚又充滿鏇律的語言,你可能難以想象,明明...
評分總理夫人程虹曾評價《塞爾伯恩博物誌》的作者吉爾伯特懷特:該書最明顯的特徵在於它是以書信體寫就。“《塞爾伯恩的自然史》成為英國科學中對生態學領域最重要的早期貢獻之一。當然,更具普遍意義的是,從懷特那裏,生活在高科技時代的現代人可以逐漸領悟到怎樣在人類和自然之...
評分 評分繆哲的文字,沒有時下白話文的油浮和流腔,又古而不僵。走的是五四一脈,我喜其甘澀。他的文章條理清楚,學養和見識都好。
評分一本無心寫成的傑作。作者寫作時並沒有想到自己的這些信件會成為文學史的一部分,他隻是在和遠方的朋友寫信,討論一些鳥類和自然的問題。他寫的很自然,很率性,因此讓本書擁有瞭一種不事雕琢的天然的美。這樣的書確實是上帝的恩賜,而作者,正是一位牧師。
