The Way that I Went: An Irishman in IrelandWritten by Ireland's greatest field botanist and first published in 1937, Robert Praeger's personal tour of Ireland's natural wonders has had a greater influence on Irish naturalists than any other book. It represents five years of weekends spent walking, swimming, staying out all night on islands, sifting fossil bones, and exploring tombs. |
