Produktbeschreibung
A brisk, engaging doorway to a world where rivers glitter with unknown life and the canopy whispers with unseen beings. Edge Of The Jungle invites you to travel with curiosity, courage, and a careful eye. This complete travelogue edition blends nature writing with adventure travel reportage, offering a vivid exploration narrative of the south american jungle through the eyes of an aspiring naturalist in the early twentieth century. From intimate wildlife observation to sweeping field notes, Beebe's odyssey reads as both a guide to the wild and a portrait of scientific curiosity in motion. It is at once educational nature literature and a compelling human journey, accessible to casual readers and resonant with classic-literature collectors. Historically significant as a window into early field exploration and the cultivation of natural history as a public endeavour, the book captures the spirit of discovery that shaped modern wildlife study. It sits alongside landmark travelogues as a touchstone for scholars and enthusiasts alike, celebrated for its clear prose, lyrical description, and disciplined observation. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition invites readers to relive the jungle's pulse, to learn from its rhythms, and to cherish a pivotal chapter in nature writing.
Autorenporträt
Charles William Beebe was an American naturalist, ornithologist, marine biologist, entomologist, explorer, and author. Born on July 29, 1877, in Brooklyn, New York, Beebe developed an early fascination with the natural world, which led him to pursue studies at Columbia University. His career spanned several fields, contributing to a deep understanding of wildlife and ecosystems. Beebe s explorations took him to remote corners of the globe, where he observed and documented diverse species and habitats, often with a particular focus on birds and marine life. His work was influential in the development of modern environmental science, combining meticulous research with vivid storytelling. Beebe's writings, including his memoirs and scientific works, captured the beauty of nature and the significance of conservation. He was married to Blair Niles from 1902 to 1913 and later formed a partnership with Elswyth Thane. Beebe passed away on June 4, 1962, in Trinidad and Tobago at the age of 84. His contributions to natural history and exploration continue to resonate in the field today.
