Henri Fabre","description":"Jean Henri Fabre, nineteenth-century French entomologist and author of the massive Souvenirs Entomoligies, has inspired perhaps more modern writer\/naturalists than any other chronicler of the natural world. Edwin Way Teale's selection of the most compelling of Fabre's writing makes The Insect World of J. Henri Fabre the essential edition of the writer Darwin called \"the incomparable observer.\"\"The writings of Fabere are classic because they compose an accurate  natural history of creatures all around us, written in a vivid personal  style that will never grow old or tired.\" —E.O. Wilson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This is beautiful, knowledgeable prose.\" —Annie Dillard, from \u003ci\u003eOn Nature\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Fabre could write about his discoveries simply and beautifully so that  even people who did not understand anything about entomology could  appreciate them.\" —Gerald Durrell \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"What makes Fabre interesting as a writer is his unabashed emotional  involvement in the behavior of his subjects. He is no cold, aloof  observer, but a man who is at once fascinated and repelled by the gap  between human values and reason and the blind, amoral strategies or  instinct. His descriptions of how insects conduct their lives read at  once as factual natural history and moral parables—but parables modern  in their recognition that there are no parallels for human ethics in  nature.\" —Robert Finch and John Elder, from \u003ci\u003eThe Norton Book of Nature Writing\u003c\/i\u003eJean Henri Fabre, nineteenth-century French  entomologist and author of the massive Souvenirs Entomoligies, has  inspired perhaps more modern writer\/naturalists than any other  chronicler of the natural world.","brand":"Beacon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304203604197,"sku":"NP9780807085134","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780807085134.jpg?v=1767739950","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-insect-world-of-j-henri-fabre-isbn-9780807085134","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
