內容簡介

英國自然書寫作家Robert Macfarlane推薦!在沙灘上尋找大自然的驚奇─鵝卵石,作者Clarence Ellis生於1889年,修讀歷史,對鵝卵石收集情有獨鍾且投入大量時間研究,本書於1945年首次出版,立刻受到大眾的喜愛,再版封面書衣背後有全彩整頁式鵝卵石插畫,讀者除了可以欣賞由大自然創造的美麗石頭,同時也培養觀察周遭細微事物的能力,更能活在當下。


The Pebbles on the Beach was first published in 1954. This newly reissued edition includes a foreword by Robert Macfarlane. There is a handy illustrated guide to identifying pebbles on the reverse of the book jacket.

Pebble-hunting is a pleasant hobby that makes little demand upon one’s patience and still less upon one’s physical energy. (You may even enjoy the hunt from the luxurious sloth of a deck chair). One of the true delights of the pebble-seeker is to read the stories in the stones - to determine whence and by what means they came to be there. We must always bear in mind that a pebble is a transient thing. It is in the half-way stage of a long existence . . .

This is a book about the simple pleasure of pebble spotting. Clarence Ellis is a charming, knowledgeable and witty guide to everything you didn’t know there was to know about pebbles. He ruminates on what a pebble actually is, before showing us how they are formed, advising on the best pebble-spotting grounds in the UK, helping to identify individual stones, and giving tips on the necessary kit. You’ll know your chert from your schist, your onyx from your agate, and will be on your guard for artificial intruders before you know it. Understanding the humble pebble makes a trip to the beach, lake-side or river bank simply that little bit more fascinating.
