Aristotle's thoughts, Charles Waterton's "The Sloth," and especially Gustav Eckstein's "Two Lives" were incredible. Generally good otherwise, but I really could have done without the white man's burden stuff (the collection was published in 1944), and a few scenes of just shooting everything in sight, for museum collections or just because.

This anthology covers animals, nature, and the history of biology. Reflecting his infectious enthusiasm for "the best natural history," the editor has excerpts from massive sources and intriguing pieces from lesser known authors. Among the naturalists included are Pliny, Frederick II, Linnaeus, White, Bartram, Waterton, Thoreau, Wallace, Huxley, Faber, Theodore Roosevelt, Digby, Seton, and Klingel. Arranged in chronological order, the small masterpieces here range from Aristotle to Rachel Carson. Each excerpt is introduced by an incisive and sometimes humorous description of its author.
