Publisher's Synopsis

Sharp Eyes: A Ramblers Calendar Of Fifty-Two Weeks Among Insects, Birds And Flowers is a book written by William Hamilton Gibson and published in 1904. The book is a collection of observations and musings on nature, specifically insects, birds, and flowers, made by the author over the course of a year. The book is structured as a calendar, with each week of the year corresponding to a chapter. Each chapter focuses on a particular insect, bird, or flower that the author has encountered during that week, and includes descriptions of its behavior, appearance, and habitat. Gibson's writing is characterized by a deep appreciation for the natural world and a keen eye for detail. He provides vivid descriptions of the creatures he encounters, and often includes illustrations that he has drawn himself. Overall, Sharp Eyes is a charming and informative book that offers a glimpse into the world of nature through the eyes of a passionate observer. It is a must-read for anyone interested in natural history, and will appeal to both casual readers and serious students of the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
