by James Buckland, Louis Desnoyers
Little biographical information could be confirmed about this author from the sources available during this search. What is clear is that James Buckland is associated with The Value of Birds to Man, a work that discusses birds in relation to agriculture, insects, and human life.
The book's subject suggests a writer interested in natural history and in explaining why wildlife matters in practical terms, not just as a matter of curiosity. That makes his work a good fit for readers who enjoy older nonfiction that connects observation of nature with everyday experience.
Because reliable personal details were not readily available, it would be risky to say more about his life with confidence. In this case, the work itself gives the strongest picture: a writer focused on the usefulness, behavior, and broader importance of birds.
