Backtracking: The way of a naturalist - Hardcover

Rezensionen

A collection of 16 short essays about wildlife encounters during naturalist Levin's career. Primarily about the Northeast, it includes pieces on amphibian life cycles, snakes, cicadas, predatory birds, coyotes, a captured weasel, and a vacation in the Florida Everglades. Intertwining biological facts, historical data, regional information, personal experience, and a dash of humor, the author presents a strong conservation message. An excellent addition to such high caliber nature writings as Roger Swain's Earthly Pleasures and Field Days: journal of an itinerant biologist. Strongly recommended for collections serving general readers and YAs. Frank Reiser, Biology Dept., Nassau Community Coll., Garden City, N.Y.
