    In 1898, Neltje Blanchan was utterly frustrated and dismayed at the decrease in the bird population, much like you are now, which was primarily caused by reckless hunting by humans for sport and profit. Again, much like today. So he wrote a book from the view of a bird lover who needed people to understand the damage they were causing - not just to the birds but also to society.In this book, you will find the life history of one hundred and seventy magnificent birds of prey. Birds regularly killed for food, sport and "for the barbaric purpose of decorating women's hats."You will find the language of this book easy to read. Thoroughly researched, and providing in-depth studies and features of the birds, Blanchan has written this book not just for the enjoyment and indignation of bird lovers, but also for anyone with the slightest love of nature or interest in the wilds around us.

    Wild Flowers Worth Knowing was published in 1917 (and republished in 1922) as a result of an adaptation by Asa Don Dickinson of Neltje Blanchan''s earlier work Nature''s Garden (1900). It covers mostly North American species, with a sprinkling of cosmopolitans, and includes a preface by Blanchan (who died in 1918). The book, along with Birds Worth Knowing (also by Blanchan), and other books such as Animals Worth Knowing, was part of the Little Nature Library series published by Blanchan''s husband Frank Nelson Doubleday.

    First published in 1897, "Bird Neighbors" was nature writer Neltje Blanchan's first major work, combining hard science and personal experience in a profusely-illustrated and accessible volume. Upon publication, naturist John Burroughs hailed it as "reliable", while The New York Times praised the book's colour pictures and the fact that it could be easily "understood by all readers". This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in bird watching or ornithology, and it would make for a fantastic addition to any collection. Contents include: "Bird Families", "Habitats of Birds", "Seasons of Birds", "Birds Grouped According to Size", "Descriptions of Birds", "Birds Conspicuously Black", "Birds Conspicuously Black and White", "Ducky and Gray and Slate-Colored Birds", "Blue and Blush Birds", "Brown, Olive or Grayish Brown", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing "Bird Neighbors" now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
