Not simply an investigation into melancholy, these unique essays form part of a
panoramic celebration of human behaviour from the time of the ancients to the Renaissance.
God, devils, old age, diet, drunkenness, love and beauty are each given equal
consideration in this all-encompassing examination of the human condition.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we
see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution.
They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and
destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals
and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
Robert Burton studied as a zoologist and is a well-established author
in the field of 'domestic' natural history. Among the many books he has written are Bird
Behaviour, Nature's Night Life, Ponds and Nature by the Roadside. As well as writing
pieces for the RSPB magazine, Birds, robert Burton has contributed a wildlife column to
Popular Gardening and fascinating articles to other magazines including the Royal
Horticultural Society's The Garden. He took over the popular Nature Note column in the
Daily Telegraph his father's from his father Dr Maurice Burton.
Coming from a wildlife-orientated family, Robert Burton has grown up with the concept
of the garden as a sanctuary for birds and other animals. After travelling widley for his
past studies, working at home has given him plenty of opportunities to observe the
visitors to his garden.
