n this book I have tried to bring together ideas from three different Istreams of thought with which I have been closely concerned during the last thirty years or so.

Since then I have had the opportunity to think pretty hard about conservation, while taking part in the planning and development of the Nature Con servancy.

These were sub sequently printed in The Listener (1957, Vol. 57, pp. 514-15,556-7,596-7, and 600). The present book is essentially an expansion of these. I am extremely grateful to Mr James C.

M. Gibbs typed the fair copy. Miss M.
