About this title

About the Author:

William Beebe (1877-1962) was an eminent naturalist and deep sea and jungle explorer. He authored several books. Robert Finch, co-editor of The Norton Book of Nature Writing, lives on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Review:

[Beebe's] writing is lucid; he exhibits an impeccable taste in verbal imagery; and he can, when he chooses, carry off a lyric flight without faltering or appearance of affectation. Apart from all other qualities, Edge of the Jungle is notable for its purely literary excellence. --The Nation

Mr. Beebe is a scientist, but he was certainly cut out for an epic poet. Where else is there such another combination of science and poetry, of observation and fancy, of fact and reveling, rioting, bejungled imagination? --Atlantic's Bookshelf
