Bengt Berg (1885–1967)
Bengt Magnus Kristoffer Berg was a Swedish ornithologist, zoologist,
wildlife photographer, and writer. He is best remembered for photos and
movies of birds, taken on several expeditions. His avifauna photography
is highly celebrated. In 1938, the internationally famous author,
zoologist and nature photographer Bengt Berg from Kalmar bought the
farm. Despite not finishing school and failing Swedish and science,
Bengt Berg became one of Sweden’s best-known authors and zoologists.
Bengt Berg may be best known for having the sea eagle and golden eagle
protected by law in 1924 and for introducing the Canada goose in the
1930s.
This first edition book shows in words and pictures of the bloodless,
but often dangerous hunting with the camera. The seventy, partly
unpublished, abundance of his material, which is also invaluable for
science, inspire all nature and animal lovers, young and old, and get
new to the thousands of Bengt-Berg readers.

edgewear and bumped corners and spine ends. One hard rubbed area 3/4s
