A century-old classic, a recommended summer reading list for teenagers, and a guide to nature. In 1874, Burroughs purchased an orchard farm on the west bank of the Hudson River, where he designed and built a stone house, which he called "Riverside House" - River by. The book describes the beautiful scenery of the Hudson River, the hemlock groves, "Black Creek" and the forests of the Catskill Mountains where he roamed in his youth. This is a fresh, healthy, and inspiring book. If any reader is committed to nature writing or has a pure passion for nature, Nabales' book should not be missed.

This book is the author's travel notes about the UK. In May 1883, John Burroughs came to the other side of the Atlantic and roamed almost the entire island of Great Britain as if with some kind of mission. He explored the fields, forests, lakes, ancient buildings and historical relics of Scotland and England. He visited the countryside and keenly captured the rich colors and sounds of nature with his eyes and ears. Forests, meadows, valleys, streams, sheep, wild flowers, singing birds, fairy-like insects and small animals. He obsessively observed these things, experienced them carefully, and understood them subtly, almost to a trance-like human state. He described them vividly with beautiful words and poetic language. This is a fresh, healthy, and inspiring book. If any reader is committed to nature writing or has a pure passion for nature, Nabales' book should not be missed.

"The Waking Forest" is a book about birds in the forest. The author John Burroughs personally met the forest several times, searched, chased and discovered birds, and wrote this book about birds. The book has eight chapters in total, all with the theme of forests and birds. The content is substantial, the text is beautiful, the descriptions are vivid, and it is full of rich natural knowledge and bird knowledge. It is known as a classic of natural literature and is intended to awaken people's love and protection for birds, forests, nature, and the environment. The author John Burroughs is called "the sage of rural America" ​​and "the guide to nature". His books are a portrayal of his life. He not only established the writing standards of nature literature, but also showed people a way of life that is close to nature and treats nature well, and made it a fashion, a landscape where nature and the soul blend together.

"The Waking Forest" was first published in 1871. It is Burroughs's first collection of nature essays and is by far Burroughs's most popular and beloved work. This is a book about birds, or more appropriately, an invitation to enter the field of ornithology. If it can awaken and stimulate readers' interest in this branch of natural history, it will achieve part of the author's writing intention. We followed Burroughs to the valley and listened to the concert of forest birds. We walked into the forest and observed the colorful lives of different birds. When Burroughs wrote this book, he relied less on rigorous science than on his love of birds and what he already knew. His harvest comes more from the forest than from the study; what he gives readers is a careful and detailed record of field observations and experiences, and every word is true. Most of the scenery he writes are familiar and accessible to people, those in people's own farms and courtyards: woods, fields, birds and animals. As a result, he has won many readers and has set a sales record of 1.5 Million. He is also recognized as the most popular writer of that era. Many people back then, including President Theodore Roosevelt, grew up reading Burroughs's books and followed in his footsteps.
