Gilbert White

    Gilbert White fu un "parroco-naturalista", un pioniere naturalista e ornitologo inglese. Più di ogni altro scrittore, White ha plasmato il rapporto tra uomo e natura. Cento anni prima di Darwin, White comprese il ruolo cruciale dei vermi nella formazione del suolo e capì l'importanza del territorio e del canto negli uccelli. Le sue osservazioni precise, scrupolosamente oneste e con un'arguzia spontanea lo portarono a interpretare il comportamento animale in modo unico. La sua opera è nota per la sua qualità letteraria e la sua profonda comprensione del mondo naturale.

      Als Georg Forster 1772 an Bord von Captain Cooks Weltumseglungsschiff ging, arbeitete Gilbert White schon seit über zwei Jahrzehnten fern von allen Akademien an seinen eigenen naturkundlichen Beobachtungen. Vor allem an seinem Geburtsort Selborne in Hampshire in Südengland, in dem er als Kaplan die umliegenden Pfarreien betreute, führte er Tagebuch über die Wind- und Witterungsverhältnisse. Er verfolgte die Jahreszeiten und machte sich präzise Notizen zur Selborne'schen Pflanzen- und besonders der Tierwelt. Mit dem Stapel seiner Notizen wuchs auch seine Sammlung von in Brandy konservierten Präparaten, die seinen Besuchern den Artenreichtum der örtlichen Fauna augenfällig machte

      The Natural History of Selborne (1789) is the distillation of a lifetime of observing nature, and ranges far beyond White's immediate neighbourhood noted in the title. Written during a turbulent time in world history, it is a celebration of the endeavours of both human beings and animals to survive. White's main aims were to induce readers to pay more attention to the wonders around them, and to advance their knowledge of the variety of life: his success has made this book a classic, and has made his name one of the most revered among British naturalists.
