Hardcover. Condition: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Brier-Patch Philosophy (1906) is a work of contemplative non-fiction by American naturalist and minister William J. Long. Written under the pseudonym "Peter Rabbit," the book is not a children's story but a "cheerful philosophy" that uses the perspective of a rabbit to explore the shared lives of animals and humans. The essays are written from the point of view of Peter Rabbit, who "interprets" nature to comment on the human condition, animal intelligence, and universal existence. The book offers a "meditation on life, death, and pain," suggesting that we can find happiness and overcome adversity by observing the natural world. Charming illustrations throughout This is a copy of the 1906 first edition, HB no jacket, green and yellow boards. One book plate, yellowing commensurate with age, no loose pages or internal marking not ex lib.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and often contentious question of animal intelligence. The author, writing from a perspective informed by years of observation of wild animals, challenges the prevailing scientific view that animals are merely driven by instinct and incapable of thought. In a playful and engaging style, the author uses the guise of a rabbit to examine the arguments of various naturalists and psychologists, exposing their flaws and highlighting the limitations of their methods. The book explores themes of animal behavior, the limitations of human knowledge, and the nature of reason itself. Through witty anecdotes and insightful observations, the author compels readers to reconsider their assumptions about the animal world and the very nature of consciousness, leading them to a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
