Description: Edge of the Jungle, William Beebe, 1921, Garden City pub., 1st edition. - 5.5 x 8.25 inches approx.; 303 pages including Index; hdbk cover. - Goodreads: William Beebe was a keen observer of Nature, and a leading pioneer into the oceanic world. His writing is personable and engaging. Through his dozens of books describing his various expeditions, Beebe brought the average citizen in closer touch with the natural world. Beebe turned his focus away from pheasants to the tropical jungle and became director of the Zoological Park's new Department of Tropical Research. This is his second series of essays, following those in Jungle Peace. Contents: The Lure of Kartabo; A Jungle Clearing; The Home Town of the Army Ants; A Jungle Beach; A Bit of Uselessness; Guinevere the Mysterious; A Jungle Labor Union; The Attas at Home; Hammock Nights; A Tropic Garden; The Bay of Butterflies; and Sequels. Condition: Very Good Condition for these essays on wild flora and fauna. Cover shows slight dulling of gold lettering, and minimal edge-wear. No owner name inside--appears to have been erased. Binding/hinges are tight/strong. Only very light age-tanning to paper, which remains strong/supple. Interior is all clean...no marks, tears, stains, or creases found. Book has new, removeable, extra-heavy PVC clear jacket. Pics show with and without the jacket.
