Often considered the father of modern entomology, Jean Henri Fabre makes science accessible in Field, Forest, and Farm as Uncle Paul discusses a variety of scientific topics with his band of attentive nephews. These discussions introduce readers to soil and soil-enriching substances, to plants and their various parts, as well as to insects and several different bird species. Uncle Paul also teaches his listeners about plant cultivation and plant-care, offering a full picture of how various life-forms affect and interact with each other.
