"Life of the Wayside and Woodland" is a vintage guide to 'woodcraft',
the knowledge and understanding of woodland countryside and its animal
inhabitants. It aims to present the reader with suggestions for the
methods of studying nature as a whole, concentrating on where to find
the varied woodland life that we can see, watch and enjoy. Highly
recommended for nature lovers and keen naturalists. Thomas Coward
(1867 - 1933) was an English ornithologist and amateur astronomer. He
wrote on natural history, local history and Cheshire for a number of
publications and books. Other notable works by this author include: "The
Vertebrate Fauna of Cheshire and Liverpool Bay" (1910), "The Migration
of Birds" (1912), and "Bird Haunts and Nature Memories" (1922). Contents
include: "Collectors and Collecting", "January - February", "March -
April", "May - June", "July - August", "September - October",
"November - December", "Hints On Collecting and Preserving", "Reference
Books", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and
expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume
now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a
specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
