Porter's lyrical style captures the essence of various species, showcasing their magnificence while inviting contemplation on the complexities of survival, instinct, and the delicate balance of ecosystems. Contextually, this work emerges against the backdrop of the late 19th-century naturalism, where the interplay between nature and human experience was increasingly prominent in literature, making it a compelling precursor to modern ecological thought. J. Hampden Porter was a passionate naturalist and writer, influences derived from his extensive travels and studies of wildlife in diverse habitats. His keen observations and insatiable curiosity towards the natural world underpinned his narrative style, which focuses on the intricate dynamics of animal behavior and their environments. Porter's duality as both scientist and storyteller allows him to offer insights that are both educational and captivating, reflecting his dedication to fostering a greater appreciation for nature. "Wild Beasts" is not just a book for naturalists or zoologists; it appeals to any reader seeking a deeper understanding of the wild. With its rich vocabulary and thoughtful reflections, this work will transport you into untamed landscapes, evoking awe and inspiring a sense of responsibility towards the preservation of wildlife. Engaging and enlightening, this book beckons readers to reconnect with the wild spirit within and around them.

    “Woman, Watching is an entrancing blend of biography, memoir, history, research, and homage that is unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s radical, it’s ravishing.” — Kyo Maclear, author of Birds Art Life
    		 
    From award-winning author Merilyn Simonds, a remarkable biography of an extraordinary woman — a Swedish aristocrat who survived the Russian Revolution to become an internationally renowned naturalist, one of the first to track the mid-century decline of songbirds.
    		 
    Referred to as a Canadian Rachel Carson, Louise de Kiriline Lawrence lived and worked in an isolated log cabin near North Bay. After her husband was murdered by Bolsheviks, she refused her Swedish privilege and joined the Canadian Red Cross, visiting her northern Ontario patients by dogsled. When Elzire Dionne gave birth to five babies, Louise became nurse to the Dionne Quintuplets. Repulsed by the media circus, she retreated to her wilderness cabin, where she devoted herself to studying the birds that nested in her forest. Author of six books and scores of magazine stories, de Kiriline Lawrence and her “loghouse nest” became a Mecca for international ornithologists.
    		 
    Lawrence was an old woman when Merilyn Simonds moved into the woods not far away. Their paths crossed, sparking Simonds’s lifelong interest. A dedicated birder, Simonds brings her own songbird experiences from Canadian nesting grounds and Mexican wintering grounds to this deeply researched, engaging portrait of a uniquely fascinating woman.
