吉爾伯特•懷特(1720~1793年),英國18世紀著名博物學傢、作傢。懷特大半生在傢鄉塞爾伯恩度過,以觀察鳥獸魚蟲為樂。其書信體著作《塞爾伯恩博物誌》兩百多年流傳不絕,對後世影響甚巨。
More than any other writer, Gilbert White (1720-93) has shaped the relationship between man and nature. A hundred years before Darwin, White realised the crucial role of worms in the formation of soil and understood the significance of territory and song in birds.

This collection of his letters to the explorer and naturalist Daines Barrington and the eminent zoologist Thomas Pennant - White's intellectual lifelines from his country-village home - are a beautifully written, detailed evocation of the lives of the flora and fauna of eighteenth-century England.
