Download As PDF : Ways of Nature John Burroughs 
First published in 1905, “Ways of Nature” is a collection of essays by American naturalist John Burroughs. Within them, Burroughs explores the idea of bird intelligence, which he maintains had been generally misjudged by his contemporaries due to a “growing tendency to humanize the lower animals”. A fascinating and masterfully-written treatise, “Ways of Nature” is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Burroughs' seminal work. Contents include “Ways Of Nature”, “Bird-songs”, “Nature With Closed Doors”, “The Wit Of A Duck”, “Factors In Animal Life”, etc. John Burroughs (1837 – 1921) was an American naturalist, essayist, and active member of the U.S. conservation movement. Burroughs' work was incredibly popular during his lifetime, and his legacy has lived on in the form of twelve U.S. Schools named after him, as well as Burroughs Mountain, and the John Burroughs Association. Contents include “The Return of the Birds”, “In the Hemlocks”, “The Adirondacks”, “Birds'-Nests”, “Spring at the Capital”, “Birch Browsings”, “The Bluebird”, “The Invitation”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Ways of Nature John Burroughs Reviews
Simple to read - held interest - pages turned easily - I passed the book along to someone who expressed interest.
As an amateur naturalist myself, I was hoping for more of the observational writing that Burroughs does so well. This more opinionated style is not what I was hoping for, but it's an,interesting read nonetheless. It's quite interesting to read about his ideas on animal intelligence and compare them to what we now know.
This is an informative, entertaining book to read. I highly recommend it especially for anyone that enjoys nature and reading about it.
I have not completed reading this book but I find it very interesting in the observations Mr. Burroughs makes. Most people don't see things with his detail. Makes you want to slow down and observe too.
Excellent Foundation Literature on this subject. Well written and stands as seminal treatise.
