More than two centuries have passed since Gilbert While was laid to rest in his unassuming grave in Selborne churchyard but White`s accurate study of the flora & fauna of his native parish, first published in 1789, still makes delightful reading today. His regular correspondence, beginning in 1767, with two distinguished naturalists, Thomas Pennant & the Honourable Daines Barrington, forms the basis of ” The Natural History of Selborne”. The fascination of the book lies in the magic of its prose & the vividness of its description, which have earned it the distinction of being the only work on natural history to have received equal acclaim as a masterpiece of English literature. ...

For all the desert`s dreamlike beauty, to travel here was not just to pitch yourself into oblivion: it was to grind away at yourself until nothing was left. It was to aspire to the condition of s&. One third of the earth`s land surface is desert, much of it desolate & inhospitable. What is it about this harsh environment that has captivated humankind throughout history? From the prophets of the Bible to Marco Polo, Lawrence of Arabia to Gertrude Bell, travellers have often seen deserts as cursed places to be avoided, or crossed as quickly as possible. But for those whose call deserts home, the `hideous blanks` described by explorers are rich in resources & significance. Travelling to five continents over three years, visiting deserts both iconic & little-known, William Atkins discovers a realm that is as much internal as physical. His journey takes him to the Arabian Peninsula`s Empty Quarter & Australia`s nuclear-test grounds; the dry Aral Sea of Kazakhstan & `sand seas` of China`s volatile north-west; the contested borderlands of Arizona & the riotous Burning Man festival in Nevada`s Black Rock Desert; & the ancient monasteries of Egypt`s Eastern Desert. Along the way, Atkins illuminates the people, history, topography, & symbolism of these remarkable but often troubled places. Reviving the illustrious British tradition of travel writing, The Immeasurable World is destined to become a classic of desert literature. ...
