Features: I have always dreamed of a modern Chinese natural history that could rival The Natural History of Selborne, because we have such a long tradition of "the study of birds, beasts, grass, and trees," and there is no need to travel to foreign countryside to seek the true essence of nature. However, since no one wrote such a book specifically for me, I had to gather contributions from various sources. For my own enjoyment and to share with others. Scientific sketches, also known as knowledge sketches, are short, lively, popular, and interesting, covering everything from astronomy to geography. The editors of The Collection of Scientific Sketches have sifted through tens of thousands of scientific sketches, selecting the finest works and organizing them into three series: flora, fauna, and small insects. The authors of this series range from literary giants like Lao She, Zhou Zuoren, Ye Lingfeng, Feng Zikai, and Wang Zengqi, to scientific luminaries like Zhou Jianren, Gao Shiqi, and Jia Zuzhang, forming a constellation of stars, each leading their own era. To enhance the visual appeal of the book, the editors have also carefully selected relevant illustrations, making the series a beautifully illustrated collection. This volume focuses on birds and beasts, featuring renowned scientific sketches, complemented by carefully chosen illustrations to create a richly illustrated and exquisite book.
